The discipline of Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of KwaZulu-Natal is as varied as modern South African society and our biggest focus is  people. We not only train undergraduates but also registrars from South Africa and from our neighbouring countries.

Orthopaedic is a discipline of surgery concerned with conditions involving the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic uses both surgical and nonsurgical means to treat musculoskeletal trauma, spine diseases, sports injuries, degenerative diseases, infections, tumors, and congenital disorders
