Sharad Moreshwar Hardikar (born 22 June 1932) is an Indian orthopedic surgeon and the founder of Hardikar Hospital, Pune. He also heads the hospital's charitable trust, the Sushrut Medical Care and Research Society. Hardikar, an honorary fellow of the British Orthopaedic Association, was awarded the fourth highest civilian honour of the Padma Shri, in 2014, by the Government of India.
Returning to India in 1967, he joined BJMC, where he taught and practiced for 25 years till his superannuation in 1992, when he was made the emeritus professor of the institution. In 1970, while working at BJMC, he founded the Hardikar Hospital, a 10-bed facility dedicated to orthopedics, and has served as its director since then.[1] Over the years, the facility has grown into a multi-specialty hospital, housing 60 in-patients[3] and a charitable trust under the name Sushrut Medical Care and Research Society, engaged in disbursement of medical services to the poor sections of the society,[2] which Hardikar also heads.[4][additional citation(s) needed] Under the aegis of the society, Hardikar has organised 75 free medical camps where 1,500 children have been provided with free orthopedic surgeries, and has assisted in the rehabilitation of spastic children.[1]
Hardikar has published several monographs on diseases such as arthritis, poliomyelitis, back pain, knee and shoulder pain, cerebral palsy, and osteoporosis, and is credited with medical innovations such as the Wagner External Fixator and implants for fixation of fractured neck humerus, fractured lower end of radius, and removal of broken screw.[1]
