Total Knee Replacement
One of the most common reasons for total knee replacement surgery is osteoarthritis. Symptoms include difficulty climbing stairs, walking or simply moving in and out of a seated position. Orthodoc specialises in knee replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, helping patients with pain relief and restoration of severe knee anomalies and injuries. A number of surgical techniques and replacement prostheses can be used depending on a patient’s age, weight and overall health.
Total Hip Replacement
Hip replacement surgery or total hip replacement is conducted when your hips have been damaged by arthritis, fractures or in the instance where patients experience pain and difficulty with common movements such as walking or getting out of a chair. Hip replacement surgery is historically one of the most successful and effective operations of all time, relieving pain, increasing motion and improving the overall quality of everyday life.
Arthroscopic Surgery
An arthroscopy refers to the surgical procedure used by orthopaedic surgeons to assess, diagnose and treat the deterioration or degradation of joints. The outpatient surgical procedure is performed under general anaesthetic and is generally less invasive with minimal risks and postoperative complications. While Orthodoc specialises in knee and hip replacement surgery, we can perform surgery on other joints such as shoulders, elbows, ankles and wrists.

Dr. Allan van Zyl is one of the first orthopaedic surgeons in South Africa to perform a total knee replacement using ROSA, a new robotic surgical assistant.
The surgery was successfully completed in February 2022 at Mediclinic in Bloemfontein and is at the forefront of innovation, enhancing the traditional procedure by supplying accurate real-time data and computerised simulation before performing the surgery on a patient.
Orthodoc is a private practice based in Bloemfontein founded by leading orthopaedic surgeon, Dr. Allan van Zyl.
With more than 30 years’ experience as an orthopaedic surgeon and over 7800 hip and knee replacement surgeries under his belt, Dr. Allan van Zyl uses a blend of skill, expertise and cutting-edge technology to perform successful joint replacements and other medical orthopaedic procedures.
