Orthopedic Surgery

An orthopaedic surgeon diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and spine.

At Tirupati Trauma Care Centre & Hospital, Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri provides orthopaedic and trauma care for conditions including:

• Fractures and dislocations

• Arthritis and joint degeneration

• Hip and knee problems

• Sports injuries

• Ligament and tendon injuries

• Spine conditions

• Joint pain and stiffness

• Limb deformities

• Road traffic accident injuries

• Complex orthopaedic trauma

• Paediatric orthopaedic conditions

Treatment may be surgical or non-surgical depending on the diagnosis and individual patient needs.

Orthopaedic surgery may be recommended when a condition causes significant pain or functional limitation and does not respond adequately to appropriate non-surgical treatment, or when surgery is required to restore stability or function.

Under the evaluation of Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri, surgery may be considered for selected severe fractures, joint damage, ligament injuries, deformities, spinal conditions and traumatic injuries. A specialist assessment is necessary before deciding whether surgery is appropriate.

Yes. Many fractures can heal with splinting, casting, bracing or other non-surgical treatment.

However, surgery may be required when a fracture is significantly displaced, unstable, involves a joint, affects important structures, is open, or cannot be adequately aligned and maintained without surgical fixation.

Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri evaluates the type, location and severity of the fracture before recommending the most appropriate treatment.

Tirupati Trauma Care Centre & Hospital provides orthopaedic care for fractures resulting from road traffic accidents, falls, sports injuries, workplace injuries and other forms of trauma.

Under the care of Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri, fracture treatment may include casting, reduction, internal fixation or other surgical procedures depending on the injury.

Complex fractures may require coordinated management of both the bone and surrounding soft tissues, with support from other specialists when required.

Joint replacement is a procedure in which damaged portions of a joint are removed and replaced with artificial components.

It is commonly performed for severe joint damage caused by conditions such as advanced arthritis or significant joint degeneration.

Hip and knee replacement are among the commonly performed joint replacement procedures. Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri can evaluate patients with severe hip or knee problems and determine whether joint replacement or another treatment option is appropriate.

Yes. Orthopaedic specialists manage many sports-related injuries involving ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles and joints.

Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri can evaluate sports injuries and recommend appropriate treatment, which may include physiotherapy and rehabilitation, medication, activity modification or surgery.

The goal is to restore function and allow a safe, progressive return to physical activity.

Recovery varies considerably depending on the type of surgery, severity of the condition, patient's age and health, and rehabilitation requirements.

Some procedures allow patients to begin movement soon after surgery, while complex fractures, joint replacements and major trauma may require longer rehabilitation.

Under the guidance of Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri and the physiotherapy team, rehabilitation may focus on restoring strength, mobility, balance and function.

Yes. Road traffic accidents can cause fractures, dislocations, ligament injuries, soft tissue damage and multiple orthopaedic injuries.

Under Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri's orthopaedic and trauma care, treatment may require fracture fixation, joint stabilisation, wound management, limb reconstruction or other surgical procedures, depending on the injury.

At TTCH, trauma and orthopaedic care can be coordinated with other specialties when patients have complex or multiple injuries.

Yes. Many hip and knee conditions can initially be managed without surgery.

Depending on the diagnosis, Dr. Durga Prasad Valleri may recommend physiotherapy, strengthening exercises, medication, weight management, activity modification or injections.

Surgery is considered when symptoms remain significant despite appropriate treatment or when there is a structural problem requiring surgical correction.
