Joint Replacement & Lower-Limb Surgery in Hyderabad
Joint replacement surgery resurfaces a worn, painful joint with precision-engineered implants, relieving pain and restoring smooth movement. It is one of the most successful and life-changing operations in modern medicine — most patients return to walking, climbing stairs and daily life without the constant ache of arthritis.
Dr. Deepthi Nandan Reddy (Dr. DN Reddy) performs knee, hip, shoulder and elbow replacement at Apollo Hospitals, Financial District, Hyderabad, with a particular focus on getting lower-limb patients moving within 24 hours. With 15,000+ surgeries and UK & Mayo Clinic fellowship training, he handles both routine first-time replacements and difficult, complex and revision cases that other centres refer on.
Joints We Replace
Knee Replacement
Total, partial (unicondylar) and revision knee replacement for severe arthritis and worn implants.
Hip Replacement
Total hip replacement, the minimally invasive DAA (anterior) approach, hip resurfacing and revision hip surgery.
Shoulder Replacement
Total, reverse and partial shoulder arthroplasty — Dr. Reddy's upper-limb specialty.
Elbow Replacement
For severe elbow arthritis or complex fractures where the joint cannot be rebuilt.
Partial, Total & Revision — What's the Difference?
Partial replacement (e.g. unicondylar knee): only the damaged part of the joint is resurfaced. It preserves more of your natural joint, usually means a smaller cut and quicker recovery, and suits patients whose arthritis is limited to one area.
Total replacement: the whole joint surface is replaced. This is the reliable, long-lasting option for widespread arthritis of the knee, hip or shoulder.
Revision replacement: an earlier implant that has worn out, loosened or become infected is removed and re-done. Revision surgery is technically demanding and is an area of specific expertise for Dr. Reddy.

Frequently Asked Questions
1How long do joint replacements last?
Modern implants typically last 15–25 years. With today's materials and precise techniques, many patients enjoy lifelong function from a single replacement.
2What is the difference between partial and total knee replacement?
A partial (unicondylar) replacement resurfaces only the worn part of the knee and usually recovers faster, while a total replacement resurfaces the whole joint for widespread arthritis. Dr. Reddy advises which suits your knee after examination and X-rays.
3What is revision joint replacement?
Revision surgery replaces an old implant that has worn out, loosened or become infected. It is more complex than a first replacement and is a specific area of expertise for Dr. Reddy.
4How soon will I walk after surgery?
Most patients take their first supported steps within 24 hours, go home in 3–5 days, and return to normal activities over 3–6 months.
