Bone infections are serious - and they require a surgeon who knows exactly how to treat them.

Conditions like Osteomyelitis and Septic Arthritis require highly specialised, aggressive treatment to prevent permanent damage or limb loss.

Dr Snyman is one of a small number of orthopaedic surgeons in South Africa extensively trained in the Lautenbach Technique - a targeted irrigation method that delivers culture-specific antibiotics directly into the bone or wound bed through a cyclic instillation and drainage system, bypassing the need for blood supply to reach the infection site.

We are committed to eradicating infection, preserving bone, and saving limbs.

Great surgeons aren't just made - they're mentored.

Dr Snyman opened his practice and his theatre to a student this week, walking her through everything from consultations, reading scans to watching a live procedure. No shortcuts, no glossing over the hard parts. Just honest, hands-on learning.

Because the best way to build the next generation of doctors is to show them what real care looks like - up close.

A bone tumour diagnosis can feel overwhelming — but for many patients, losing a limb is not inevitable.

Limb salvage surgery combines meticulous tumour removal with advanced reconstruction techniques, offering patients the best possible chance of preserving both their limb and their quality of life.

Successful outcomes require far more than surgery alone. It takes a dedicated multidisciplinary team, advanced planning, precise diagnosis, carefully coordinated neoadjuvant and adjuvant treatment where required, and an experienced orthopaedic specialist with expertise in bone and soft tissue tumours to guide every step of the journey.

Bone tumours often present as a painless lump or swelling. In some cases, they may cause pain that seems out of proportion to what might have caused it. A simple X-ray can often reveal the true nature of the problem and help guide further investigation by an expert.

That's exactly the level of care and expertise Dr Franz Snyman brings to every patient.

If something has been bothering you, don't ignore it. Early assessment can make all the difference.
