Mr Krishna Boddu

I am a consultant hip and knee surgeon in Ipswich, Suffolk, specialising in hip and knee replacement, including complex and revision surgery. I work at Ipswich Hospital (East Suffolk and North Essex NHS Foundation Trust) and see private patients at Nuffield Health Ipswich Hospital, including patients from Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Stowmarket, Bury St Edmunds, Colchester and across Suffolk and north Essex. I carry out most revision surgery at the Essex and Suffolk Elective Orthopaedic Centre, Colchester Hospital.

I have been an NHS consultant since 2015, and was a consultant at King's College Hospital NHS Trust, London, before moving to Ipswich in 2022. I completed fellowships in primary and revision hip and knee replacement in Montreal and at King's College Hospital. I have performed more than 1,000 hip and knee replacements, and my results are recorded on the National Joint Registry demonstrating better than expected outcomes. I am trained in Mako robotic-assisted hip and knee replacement.

My practice is evidence-based. I recommend surgery only when the likely benefits clearly outweigh the risks for you, and many people do well without an operation. I train orthopaedic registrars, review for the Bone & Joint Journal, and have 25 research publications.
