Hakkında

Mr Van Niekerk graduated from Pretoria University in 1987. After

working in England in A&E and orthopaedic surgery his further

postgraduate education all took place in Scotland. In 1992 he was

invited to become a Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh

after completing a range of surgical examinations over a period of three years.

In 1997, after completing four years of specialist orthopaedic training,

it took the intercollegiate examination in orthopaedic surgery in

Glasgow. He was subsequently awarded the Fellowship of the

Intercollegiate Royal College of Surgeons in orthopaedic surgery. He

joined the UK Specialist Register in trauma and orthopaedic surgery in

2000 after completing a two-year fellowship in the management of lower

limb injuries in sports and general trauma. During this fellowship he

developed his knowledge and skills in cartilage transplantation,

arthroscopic surgery, ligament reconstruction of the knee, ankle and the

rehabilitation of injuries. He was involved with some of the pioneering

work in converting stem cells into cartilage cells for re-implantation

and frequently lectured throughout Europe and the Scandinavian countries

on the subject.

In 2002 he moved to what was then the Northallerton NHS trust. This

trust had the responsibility for providing secondary care services to

all the regiments based at Catterick Garrison (the largest infantry

garrison in Europe). Effectively this meant providing a consultant grade

service to manage knee and ankle injuries for MOD service personnel

from Edinburgh down to Portsmouth. During this time he also provided

consultancy to all the major league football clubs in the area including

Middlesbrough FC, Sunderland FC, Hartlepool FC, Darlington FC and

Carlisle FC.

Latterly Mr Van Niekerk has focused on the management of complex

instabilities around the knee and ankle as well as the management of

cartilage loss and the development of arthritis in patients who are

either too young or active to be considered for joint replacement

surgery.

“Evidence-based care tailored to each patient — taking the time to explain options and shared decisions.”

— Mr L Van Niekerk
