4worldlovers: Welcome to the online home of Dr. P.H Laubscher (Orthopaedic Surgeon)

The shoulder is a fascinating joint which is regarded as one of the most mobile joints in the human body. Due to its complex nature and functioning, the shoulder is often neglected and problems go undiagnosed or mismanaged. Sign and symptoms may be confusing and therefore put both patient and doctor in the dark as to the true cause of the problem.

All examinations begin with a thorough history and systematically examination of the patient, all of which are crucial components in making the correct diagnosis. Special investigations such as MRI and Ultrasound scans play a crucial role in confirming a diagnosis.

Shoulder surgery may be performed both through open and arthroscopic techniques. The appropriate technique depends on the final diagnosis.

I treat general orthopaedic conditions but have a special interest in Hand and Upper Limb Surgery (Elbow). The visitations, courses and fellowships I have performed have been tailored towards these conditions.


Unfortunately I don’t see the following conditions: Hip and pelvis, spine, neck or back patients and patients with knee, foot and ankle conditions.


Netcare Rosebank Hospital has a limited casualty and only orthopaedic trauma patients that are stable are able to be seen.

I deal with Hand and Upper Limb Elective Conditions, as well as Paediatric Trauma.

4worldlovers: Your musculoskeletal system is made up of your bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, nerves and skin. Dr Street is an orthopaedic surgeon who treats knee and trauma-related conditions and focuses on prevention, diagnosis, rehabilitation and treatment of your musculoskeletal system.

Dr Street treats patients who have sustained an injury during sport or an accident, as well as those who suffer from degenerative conditions like osteoarthritis of the knee.

A comprehensive history of your knee problem is taken, followed by a thorough clinical examination.

Investigations including X-Ray, CT scan, MRI, ultrasound may be ordered to confirm your diagnosis.

Treatment of your problem begins with accurate diagnosis of the problem. Thereafter surgical and non-surgical treatment options will be discussed with you.

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera is inserted into the knee in order to take a closer look inside. This procedure is used once a diagnosis is made to treat the pathology.

Also known as arthroplasty, this is when a patient receives total or partial knee replacement surgery. You may need this if you suffer from knee arthritis resulting from injuries or degenerative diseases. Symptoms of such knee problems often include severe joint pain, stiffness, swelling and restricted motion.

Your knee is made up of four major ligaments. A torn ligament in the knee may occur during sporting activities and can result in severe dysfunction of knee movement. During this procedure, the torn ligament is reconstructed with a tissue graft in order to stabilise the knee joint and restore optimal function.

Excessive training and sporting accidents often result in injuries requiring treatment. We provide a number of treatments, both surgical and non-surgical, for conditions you may present with.
