MBBS MS Orthopaedics 3 Fellowships 12 Years Specialist
Joint Replacement Arthroscopy Sports Medicine Computer Navigation
Modern orthopaedic surgery with computer navigation and arthroscopic precision.

Dr. Shiv Sandeep's qualifications combine MS Orthopaedics with three distinct fellowships: Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement), Computer Navigation, and Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine. This combination is uncommon at secondary hospitals in Hyderabad. For patients needing technology-assisted joint replacement, sports-injury arthroscopy, or expert fracture care, the fellowship depth matters.

About

Orthopaedic surgeon with three advanced fellowships in modern techniques

Dr. Shiv Sandeep is a Visiting Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Vivekananda Hospital, Begumpet. His academic pathway is MBBS + MS Orthopaedics followed by three fellowships: Arthroplasty (Joint Replacement), Computer Navigation, and Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine. With 15 years of medical experience and 12 years as an orthopaedic specialist, his practice focuses on modern, minimally invasive, and technology-assisted orthopaedic surgery.

The fellowship combination is the distinctive feature. Arthroplasty fellowship trains specifically in knee and hip replacement surgery - prosthetic selection, surgical approach, and post-operative recovery protocols. Computer Navigation fellowship adds intra-operative precision: real-time measurement of implant alignment and limb balance during surgery, which correlates with longer implant survival and better functional outcomes. Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine fellowship covers minimally invasive joint surgery (knee, shoulder arthroscopy) for sports injuries, ACL/meniscus tears, and cartilage repair - the kind of precision work increasingly sought by working professionals, amateur athletes, and IT-sector patients with gym/running/cricket injuries.

At Vivekananda Hospital, the orthopaedic operating theatre has laminar airflow for sterile joint replacement surgery, and computer navigation capability is available for knee and hip replacements. This infrastructure supports joint replacement as an in-house service rather than requiring referral to tertiary centres - significant for patients seeking fellowship-level expertise with secondary-hospital accessibility and insurance empanelment. Trauma and fracture management, arthroscopic surgery, and sports injury procedures are also performed at Vivekananda.

Complex spine surgery (multi-level decompression, instrumentation for deformity) is handled by the Vivekananda neurosurgery team - Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar (Consultant Neurosurgeon) and Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula (Visiting Senior Neurosurgeon). Paediatric orthopaedic conditions like clubfoot and Congenital Dysplasia of the Hip (CDH) are part of Dr. Shiv Sandeep's practice, with co-ordination through Dr. Narendra Kumar (Senior Pediatric Surgeon) when multi-specialty pediatric input is needed. Post-surgical rehabilitation is coordinated with Dr. Manjunath M (Consultant Physiotherapist) for structured recovery.

A joint replacement or sports surgery is a big decision. Technology helps - computer navigation, arthroscopic precision, modern implants - but the outcome depends on picking the right operation for the right patient at the right time. Many knee and shoulder problems don't need surgery at all if caught early and managed properly.

Patient Questions

Frequently asked questions

How do I book an appointment with Dr. Shiv Sandeep?
Call +91 72079 04418 or WhatsApp the same number. OPD is Monday to Saturday, 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM. Evening slot suits working professionals and students. Advance booking is recommended. Bring X-rays, MRI/CT scans, previous reports, and treatment records for the consultation.
What is Computer Navigation in Joint Replacement and why does it matter?
Computer Navigation uses real-time 3D tracking during joint replacement surgery to measure implant alignment and limb balance with high precision. The surgeon sees live feedback during bone cuts and implant positioning. Studies show navigation-assisted joint replacement has better alignment accuracy, which correlates with longer implant survival and better functional outcomes. Dr. Shiv Sandeep holds a specific fellowship in this technique.
Are joint replacements actually done at Vivekananda Hospital?
Yes. Vivekananda Hospital's orthopaedic OR has laminar airflow (specialised sterile air system that reduces surgical-site infection in joint replacement), and computer navigation capability is available for knee and hip replacements. Implant stocking is maintained for total knee and total hip prostheses. Admission is typically 3-5 days with structured rehabilitation coordinated through Dr. Manjunath M (Physiotherapy).
When do I need a knee replacement vs managing with medicines?
Knee replacement is considered when osteoarthritis significantly limits daily activity (walking, climbing stairs, sleep disturbance from pain) and conservative management (physiotherapy, weight reduction, medication, injections) has failed to provide adequate relief. Imaging alone doesn't decide; patient symptoms drive the decision. Dr. Shiv Sandeep's philosophy is to avoid surgery where conservative management can work - many early osteoarthritis cases manage well for years with proper care.
I tore my ACL playing cricket. Do I need surgery?
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears are common in pivoting sports like cricket, football, and kabaddi. Surgery (ACL reconstruction via arthroscopy) is typically recommended for young, active patients wanting to return to sports or physically demanding work. Non-athletes or older patients may manage with physiotherapy and activity modification. MRI confirms the diagnosis. Dr. Shiv Sandeep's Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine fellowship focuses specifically on these cases.
What is arthroscopy and when is it used?
Arthroscopy is keyhole joint surgery. A small camera and fine instruments are inserted through 5-10 mm incisions, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint and work precisely. Common uses include meniscus tear surgery, ACL reconstruction, shoulder rotator cuff repair, and cartilage procedures. Benefits over open surgery include smaller scars, less pain, lower infection risk, and faster recovery. Most arthroscopy patients are discharged the same day or next day.
Does he treat clubfoot and hip problems in babies?
Yes. Paediatric orthopaedic conditions like clubfoot (CTEV - Congenital Talipes Equinovarus) and Congenital Dysplasia of the Hip (CDH) are part of his practice. Clubfoot management typically follows the Ponseti method (serial casting starting early in infancy). CDH is managed with harnesses, casts, or surgery depending on age of detection and severity. Early referral is critical - the earlier these conditions are addressed, the better the long-term outcome. For complex cases, multi-specialty input may involve Dr. Narendra Kumar (Pediatric Surgeon).
I have back pain. Should I see him or a neurosurgeon?
General orthopaedic back pain (muscular strain, lower-back pain without neurological symptoms) can start with Dr. Shiv Sandeep. However, back pain with sciatica, leg weakness, numbness, bladder/bowel changes, or suspected disc prolapse or spinal stenosis needing surgical evaluation is handled by the neurosurgery team - Dr. K.V.V. Rajashekhar (Consultant Neurosurgeon) or Dr. Venkatesh Yeddula (Visiting Senior Neurosurgeon, 31+ years). Complex spine surgery is their specialty at Vivekananda.
What is post-surgery rehabilitation like?
Structured rehabilitation is essential after joint replacement, ACL reconstruction, or major fracture surgery. Dr. Manjunath M (Consultant Physiotherapist at Vivekananda) coordinates post-operative physiotherapy: early range-of-motion exercises, progressive strengthening, gait training for lower-limb surgeries, and sport-specific conditioning for athletes. Recovery timelines vary: joint replacement 6-12 weeks to routine activity; ACL reconstruction 6-9 months to sport; fracture fixation variable by bone and injury.
Are orthopaedic surgeries covered by insurance?
Yes. Vivekananda Hospital is empanelled with CGHS, ESI, Aarogyasri, Arogyabhadratha and 25+ private insurers. Joint replacement, arthroscopic procedures, fracture fixation, and most orthopaedic surgeries are covered under standard health insurance. Coverage for specific implants (premium knee/hip prostheses) varies by policy. Bring your policy documents before admission for cashless eligibility confirmation and implant coverage details.
