Where does it hurt?
Choose the area that is troubling you.
Each guide explains the likely causes, how they are diagnosed and every treatment option — starting with the simplest.
Hip
Pain in the groin, thigh or buttock, stiffness and a limp — most often caused by arthritis.
Knee
Wear-and-tear arthritis and knee pain that limits walking, sleep or work.
Sports knee
Twisting injuries, instability, locking or catching after sport or a fall.
Treatments, explained simply
What each operation involves — and what recovery looks like.
Mr Reddy will talk you through the options that suit your joint, your lifestyle and your goals. Surgery is one option, never the only one.
Total hip replacement
The worn ball and socket are replaced with an artificial joint when pain limits daily life.
Total knee replacement
Resurfaces the worn ends of the thigh and shin bones with metal and plastic components.
Most people are up and walking with a physiotherapist the day after surgery
A walking aid is usually needed for the first few weeks
Recovery continues over several months, with exercises you can do at home
Mr Reddy reviews you after surgery until you are back on your feet
Partial knee replacement
Only the worn part of the knee is replaced, keeping healthy bone and ligaments.
ACL reconstruction
The torn ligament is rebuilt with a tendon graft using keyhole surgery.
Meniscal repair
The torn cartilage is stitched so it can heal, where the tear allows.

FAQs
Your questions, answered.
Do I need a GP referral?
Most insurers ask for a GP referral before they authorise a consultation, so check with yours first. If you are paying for yourself you can usually book directly — the hospital will confirm anything it needs.
How do I book an appointment?
Use the Book an appointment button. It opens Lancaster Private Hospital’s booking page with Mr Reddy already selected, so you can choose one of his clinic times.
Will my insurance cover my treatment?
Most major UK insurers cover consultations and surgery with a recognised consultant. Call your insurer before booking to check your policy and get an authorisation code.
Is surgery always necessary?
No. Many people improve with exercise, physiotherapy, weight management or injections. Mr Reddy recommends surgery only when it is likely to help more than these treatments.
