SUBMISSION OF 15-YEAR RESULTS FOR PUBLICATION

We have submitted our 15-year results in joint replacement surgery for publication. The Cape Hip and Knee fellow is expected to be actively involved in clinical research and to produce articles for publication and presentation. This is in order for us to scientifically evaluate the short and long term results of the work that we do.

Please note however that this information is meant to supplement any information that you may receive from your doctor, and is not intended to replace a consultation with a doctor. In light of this we encourage you to contact us directly so we can discuss your options.

For non-Cape Town residents and international patients, the Cape Hip & Knee Practice works in partnership with a medical tourism company, who is able to plan and coordinate packages including flights, accommodation, surgery and your holiday! We have also certified local B&B's for your pre- and post hospital accommodation. Should you wish to make further enquiries regarding the above, please contact us.
