Foot and Elbow Surgery

At Tshwane Orthopaedic Sports and Rehabilitation Centre, our team of orthopaedic surgeons specializes in a range of surgeries for foot and elbow conditions where non-surgical treatments have been unsuccessful. Minimally invasive arthroscopic foot and elbow surgery may be necessary to address damaged joints, soft tissues, and ligaments, aiming to reduce pain and improve mobility. We prioritize conservative treatments whenever possible, including physical therapy and medication, but when surgery is necessary, we utilize the latest techniques such as arthroscopic surgery and open surgery to ensure the best outcomes. Our goal is to alleviate your pain, restore function, and help you return to your active lifestyle as quickly and safely as possible. Throughout your journey, our team is committed to providing compassionate care and support every step of the way.
