Dr. Sai Karthikeya Badri — Orthopaedic Surgeon at Pure Ortho Hospitals Sainikpuri Hyderabad
Access to an orthopaedic surgeon who can evaluate a fracture at 9 PM, assess an acute sports injury on a Saturday morning, or provide a prompt outpatient opinion on a knee that has been painful for weeks — without a wait of several days for a specialist appointment — is one of the practical advantages of a hospital that has multiple dedicated orthopaedic surgeons rather than relying on a single practitioner.
Dr. Sai Karthikeya Badri is part of the orthopaedic surgical team at Pure Ortho Hospitals, Sainikpuri, bringing DNB Orthopaedics training to the evaluation and management of the full range of conditions that bring patients to an orthopaedic clinic — from acute fractures to sports injuries, from paediatric bone problems to arthroscopic knee surgery.
