Pramod Karan Sethi (28 November 1927 – 6 January 2008) was an Indian orthopaedic surgeon. With Ram Chandra Sharma, he co-invented the "Jaipur foot", an inexpensive and flexible artificial limb, in 1969.
He was awarded the Magsaysay Award for Community Leadership in 1981 and the Padma Shri by the Government of India in 1981.
== Personal life and career ==
Sethi was born at Varanasi (then Banaras),〔 where his father Nihal Karan Sethi, himself a renowned scientist, was a physics professor at Banaras Hindu University.〔(Singhal D, Nundy S. (2004) No mean feet. ''BMJ'' 328: 789 ) (accessed 28 January 2008)〕 Sethi trained as a general surgeon at Agra under G. N. Vyas. In 1958, he specialised in orthopaedics, when the Sawai Man Singh Hospital in Jaipur where he worked needed an orthopaedics department because of a Medical Council of India inspection.〔 He later cited his lack of qualifications in orthopaedics as an advantage in developing the Jaipur foot.〔 Much of his practice was in physiotherapy, including the rehabilitation of amputees.〔Oransky I. (2008) Obituary: Pramod Karan Sethi. ''Lancet'' 371: 298〕 He retired in 1981.〔(McGirk T. (1997) The $28 Foot. ''Time'' (Heroes of Medicine Special Issue) ) (accessed 28 January 2008)〕
He was married to Sulochana, and the couple had a son and three daughters. Sethi died of cardiac arrest in Jaipur, India.〔
