About Me

Dr. Yalamanchili is an orthopedic surgeon who focuses on hip and knee replacement and preservation. He performs minimally invasive joint replacement as well as knee arthroscopy.

Specializing in joint replacement and preservation enables Dr. Yalamanchili to offer treatment that brings his patients relief from pain and the ability to return to daily activities and hobbies they may not have been able to do for months or even years. Recognizing that each patient is unique, he takes an individualized approach to care.

Dr. Yalamanchili is interested in robotic hip replacement. Since becoming the first surgeon in the state of Maryland to do Mako robotic hip replacement surgery using the anterior approach, he has performed a large volume of Mako hip procedures. He believes that robotic surgery with computer navigation aids him in correctly sizing and placing implants, minimizing dislocation and restoring leg lengths accurately.

Dr. Yalamanchili is the director of joint replacement at University of Maryland Upper Chesapeake Medical Center. He is also a member of the University of Maryland Joint Network, a group of surgeons known for their advanced expertise and positive outcomes in total hip and knee replacement. He is also among the specialists who make up the Upper Chesapeake Orthopedic Specialty Group

In addition, Dr. Yalamanchili has won awards and scholarships for excellence in research and academics. On multiple occasions, he has been named a "Top Doctor" in orthopedic surgery by Baltimore magazine.
