Dr. Sai Thirumal Rao Veerla — Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Arthroscopy Surgeon in Hyderabad

Dr. Sai Thirumal Rao Veerla is a Senior Consultant Orthopaedic and Arthroscopy Surgeon at Yashoda Hospitals, Hitec City, Hyderabad, with more than 12 years of experience in orthopedics.

His title describes the two halves of his list. The arthroscopic and sports half covers ACL and PCL reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff repair, arthroscopic surgery, Achilles repair for tendon rupture, joint injection and frozen shoulder. The replacement half covers total knee replacement, robotic knee replacement and total hip replacement. He also performs fracture fixation.

His qualifications follow the same division. After an MBBS and an MS in orthopaedics he took a fellowship in arthroscopy and sports medicine at Cardiff in the UK and a fellowship in arthroplasty in Germany, and holds a Diploma in Sports Medicine from the International Olympic Committee. Between them those three add the sports, replacement and arthroscopic strands of his present practice.

He belongs to five orthopaedic bodies: the Telangana Orthopaedic Surgeons Association, the Indian Arthroscopy Society, the Indian Orthopaedic Association, the International Society for Knowledge for Surgeons on Arthroscopy and Arthroplasty, and the Twin Cities Orthopaedic Association.

His research sits directly on procedures he performs. He has published an evaluation of early results of total knee arthroplasty using a rotating platform high flexion knee, a study of the surgical management of closed tendoachillies ruptures and its results, and work on the management of distal tibial pilon fracture with Mippo. The first of those matches the arthroplasty part of his list and the second the Achilles repair, so his published work and his operating range describe the same practice.
