Our Orthopaedic Procedures

Many pathologies can be treated conservatively with a multi-disciplinary team approach. Dr Maritz endeavours to utilise this approach wherever possible as a first line treatment option.

Knee Surgery

New techniques in both surgery and peri-operative period, have shifted the focus of joint replacement surgery towards enhanced rapid recovery.

When non-surgical treatment modalities have been exhausted, sporting knee injuries are ideally managed through arthroscopic keyhole camera techniques to expedite return to play.

Procedures

Total Knee replacement with robotic guidance

Total knee replacements are one of the most common orthopaedic surgeries performed. The addition of robotic technology in the operating theatre at the Busamed Paardevlei Private Hospital has proved to be a useful adjunct in the ever progressing field of knee replacement surgery.

Partial knee replacement

When knee arthritis involves only one compartment in the knee, partial knee replacement is a good option, especially in the younger more active patients. This replaces only the affected arthritic part of the knee, leaving the unaffected compartments and ligaments intact.

Knee arthroscopy

Keyhole surgery using a camera allows for good visualisation of the knee without extensive surgical incisions to correct pathology within the knee. Recovery is expedited with keyhole techniques.

Knee ligament reconstruction

Ruptured knee ligaments will render the knee unstable and often require surgical reconstruction. These are mostly done via keyhole arthroscopic techniques.

Meniscus repair

A torn meniscus can cause mechanical locking and catching within the knee, with swelling. This can be addressed with arthroscopic techniques
