Dr. I. Vishwanatha Reddy — Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon in Hyderabad

Dr. I. Vishwanatha Reddy is a Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon at KIMS Hospitals, Secunderabad, in Hyderabad, with more than 41 years of experience in orthopedics.

His list is broad and covers both the worn and the injured joint. Replacement work covers total knee replacement, partial knee replacement, total hip replacement, hip resurfacing, shoulder replacement and the revision of both knee and hip. Arthroscopic and soft tissue work covers ACL reconstruction for ACL tear, PCL reconstruction for PCL tear, meniscus repair, rotator cuff repair for rotator cuff tear and tendon repair. On the trauma and reconstruction side he performs fracture fixation and non-union repair and treats limb length discrepancy, and he also gives joint injections.

His qualifications were taken over nineteen years and in two countries. He read MBBS at Sri Venkateswara University in Tirupati in 1980 and took his MS in orthopaedics at the same university in 1985. He then took an MSc in clinical orthopaedics at Tees Side in England in 1995, and was elected FRCS at Edinburgh in the UK in 1999.

His career divides into three clear phases. He was at A.P. Government Medical College from 1985 to 1993, then in NHS hospitals in England from 1993 to 1997, and has since worked in Hyderabad and Secunderabad at KIMS Hospitals, Image Hospital and CDR Hospital. The Tees Side MSc falls inside his NHS years, while the Edinburgh fellowship came two years after he returned, so the two overseas qualifications bracket that period of his career on either side.
