Orthopedic care, so you can:
sleep through the night
Every knee, hip, and shoulder problem has more than one answer. Dr. Anup Pradhan lays out your options, helps you choose the right one — and delivers world-class outcomes when surgery is the answer. New patients seen within a week.
The difference.
Volume, training pedigree, and the patients who trust both. The reasons other doctors send their family members here.
Thousands of cases. Including the ones other surgeons won't take.
Since 2012, Dr. Pradhan has performed thousands of orthopedic surgeries — including the techniques most general orthopedists don't offer. Hip arthroscopy. Complex shoulder labral reconstruction. The bikini-incision anterior hip approach. The harder the case, the more time he's spent doing it.
Trained where the techniques are made.
Medical degree at Vanderbilt. Sports medicine fellowship at Duke. Mentored by surgeons whose work set today's standard of care — and brought that toolkit back to Dallas.
Trusted by NBA players, pros, and service members.
Patient roster includes NBA players, professional athletes, and active-duty service members. The kind of cases that don't allow for a Plan B.
The surgeon other surgeons call.
When the people who watch surgery for a living — physicians, hospital staff, surgical-equipment reps — need a surgeon themselves, they pick Dr. Pradhan. The people closest to the work are the people most often in his chair.
Three specialties. One surgeon.
Sports medicine, joint preservation, joint replacement — practiced at depth. Each carries its own approach to recovery, evidence, and expectations.
Sports Medicine
Return-to-activity surgery and non-operative care for athletes and active adults. Arthroscopic technique, evidence-based rehab.
- ACL reconstruction
- Meniscus repair
- Rotator cuff repair
- Shoulder stabilization
Joint Preservation
For patients told they need a replacement — and aren't yet convinced. Cartilage restoration, osteotomy, biologics where the evidence supports them.
- Cartilage restoration
- Osteotomy realignment
- Meniscus transplant
- Second-opinion consults
Joint Replacement
Total knee, anterior hip, and shoulder replacement — with a recovery program built for getting back to your life, not a brochure.
- Total knee replacement
- Anterior hip replacement
- Partial knee replacement
- Revision arthroplasty
Meet Dr. Pradhan.
Board-certified orthopedic surgeon. Vanderbilt MD, Duke fellowship. In practice in Dallas since 2012.
The reason this practice exists in this form: a hospital is a beautiful, complicated machine — and an injured knee is a relationship, not a workflow. After six years as Chair of Orthopedics at Medical City Dallas, I built One Ortho to put the surgeon back at the center of that relationship.
My training is in sports medicine and complex reconstruction. The cases that interest me most live at the boundary between preservation and replacement — the runner with cartilage damage who's been told it's "bone-on-bone," the 58-year-old who wants to ski again, the patient on their second opinion. In every case, there's usually more than one good path forward — and my job is to help you find yours.
You always have options. My job is to help you find yours — and to deliver world-class outcomes when surgery is the answer.

A small sample of public reviews. Names are first-name only by convention; procedures listed where the patient mentioned them publicly.
Dr. Pradhan is totally engaged during all office visits, giving me the confidence that he is intently listening and presenting the best options for surgical success.
He guided me through a knee replacement surgery that went amazingly smooth. After 7 weeks, I am up and walking, attending Physical Therapy and feeling almost back to normal.
He performed arthroscopic surgery on my left shoulder to resolve chronic pain and weakness. My left shoulder is as good as new with zero pain. Now I have similar symptoms in my right shoulder, and wouldn't trust anyone other than Dr. Pradhan to fix it.
Dr. Pradhan always asks many questions to determine the problem and level of care. He listens well and treats his patients with respect. He does not promote unnecessary testing or treatments.
