Patients with musculoskeletal disorders—including bones, joints, tendons, nerves, and muscles—require treatment from specialists in orthopedic surgery to help them return to the lives they want to live. 

Expanding knowledge and gaining experience for optimal patient outcomes 

Prof. Bancha Chernchujit is a specialist in orthopedics and sports medicine, trained at the Technical University of Munich in Germany. He has expertise in treating sports- and work-related injuries, hip and knee arthroscopy, and shoulder replacement surgery. With over 20 years of experience, he has developed precise diagnostic and surgical planning skills. He continuously enhances his medical knowledge through ongoing training and use of modern technology. Frequently invited to lecture both locally and internationally, he shares and exchanges knowledge to improve treatment outcomes for his patients. 

The ultimate goal of treatment: patient satisfaction 

Dr. Bancha emphasizes personalized care tailored to each patient’s daily lifestyle. For example, some patients come in with frozen shoulder, unable to raise their arms and experiencing pain. Many fear that surgery is the only option, but if the condition isn’t severe, it can often be managed with medication, physical therapy, and exercises that gradually improve mobility. This non-surgical approach is suitable for those without physically demanding jobs. 

However, for patients who need to quickly relieve pain to resume work or other responsibilities, surgery may be the preferred option. Today, 90–95% of such cases can be treated using arthroscopy, involving only small incisions, reduced blood loss, and minimal complications. These factors allow patients to recover faster and return to work sooner. 

Healing from the heart—Driven by the desire to relieve suffering 

Throughout his medical career, Dr. Bancha has witnessed many patients’ struggles—health issues, financial burdens, or resistance to treatment. He smiles as he shares that some patients even defy medical advice. However, by involving family members and spending time to communicate, most patients eventually cooperate, and the treatment succeeds—even if it takes time. Seeing a patient’s smile, and their family’s, makes it all worth it. 

**”One case that deeply moved me involved a farmer with a frozen shoulder who couldn’t lift his arm. He endured the pain because of his work and limited finances. We started with medications and physiotherapy, but due to his physical labor, the condition didn’t improve. We treated him for years, often helping cover some costs because I didn’t want him to drop out of treatment. Eventually, the shoulder deteriorated so badly that replacement surgery was the only option—and it was expensive. 

To support him, we encouraged other patients with similar conditions to talk and share their experiences. When someone improves after surgery, they often help others by giving reassurance and information. In this case, several of my patients came together and donated for the medical equipment needed for his surgery. 

The surgery was a success. His pain was gone, and everyone—me, the patient, and those who helped—felt fulfilled and joyful. That experience reaffirmed to me that our treatment approach is truly the right path.”**
