45-year-old Mr. A. Satyanarayana from Kindra village in Alluri Seetharamaraju district came to our hospital after a fall left him unable to walk. During evaluation, our expert orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Arun Kumar, discovered that the patient has had DDH since birth. This is a condition where the hip joint does not develop properly. A recent accident worsened the deformity, making movement impossible.

Conventional surgery would not be sufficient in this case. Our team decided to perform a complex hip replacement surgery, supported by detailed imaging and pre-operative digital planning.
