ABOUT DOCTOR

Meet Dr. Jeyasilan Karpudewan

Dr Jeyasilan obtained his medical degree from Melaka Manipal Medical College in 2006.

After completing his housemanship at Hospital Tengku Ampuan Afzan in Kuantan, he continued building his clinical experience by serving in several locations across Malaysia, including Raub, Ipoh, Kuching, Kota Bharu and the Klang Valley.

He subsequently completed his Master of Surgery in Orthopaedics at Universiti Sains Malaysia in 2016.

To advance his expertise in upper limb surgery, Dr Jeyasilan pursued subspecialty training in Miami, USA, where he received focused training in upper limb and arthroscopic surgery. He later continued his fellowship training in Buenos Aires, Argentina, with a focus on upper limb and wrist surgery.

In 2023, he completed formal fellowship training in upper limb and microsurgery under the Ministry of Health Malaysia.

His local and international training allows him to manage conditions ranging from common upper limb problems to complex injuries requiring arthroscopic, minimally invasive or microsurgical techniques.

Approach to Patient Care

His special interests include upper limb sports injuries, arthroscopic surgery, minimally invasive procedures and microsurgical reconstruction.

Diagnosis

Dr Jeyasilan believes that effective treatment begins with an accurate diagnosis and a clear understanding of each patient’s needs.

Personalisation

A patient’s occupation, daily activities, sporting demands and personal recovery goals are considered when developing a treatment plan.

Treatment

Whenever appropriate, non-surgical treatment such as activity modification, medication, splinting, injections and rehabilitation may be recommended. Surgery is considered when it is necessary to restore stability, movement and function or when non-surgical treatment does not provide sufficient improvement.

Recovery

His goal is not only to treat the condition but also to help patients return safely to their daily activities, work and sports.
