Apollo Hospitals hosted the two-day Personalised Arthroplasty Summit 2026 in Hyderabad on October 10 and 11, bringing together more than 350 orthopaedic surgeons and joint replacement specialists to discuss advances in robotic-assisted surgery and personalised approaches to knee and hip replacement.

The national scientific conference and live workshop focused on emerging technologies, precision-based surgical planning, implant selection and advanced surgical techniques aimed at improving outcomes for patients undergoing joint replacement procedures.

The programme was led by K.J. Reddy, chief arthroplasty surgeon and organising chairman of the summit. Jairam Pingle, senior consultant orthopaedic surgeon, said joint replacement is generally considered for patients with advanced arthritis or severe joint damage when persistent pain, stiffness and restricted movement do not respond adequately to non-surgical treatments.
