What is
ARTHOPLASTY?
Arthroplasty is surgery to restore movement and relieve pain in a damaged joint — most commonly the hip or knee. It often involves replacing worn-out joint surfaces with advanced, medical-grade implants that mimic natural motion.
​
At Stride, arthroplasty means more than just surgery. It’s precision care, tailored to help you move freely again.
WHY CHRISTIAN BARNARD?
Stride Arthroplasty Centre is proudly based within the world-renowned Netcare Christiaan Barnard Memorial Hospital — a flagship facility that honours the legacy of the pioneering heart surgeon who transformed modern medicine.
​
Located in Cape Town’s Foreshore district, the hospital offers state-of-the-art surgical infrastructure, a 24/7 Level 1 Trauma Centre, and integrated Care-On rehabilitation facilities, all in one seamless environment. With its scale, innovation, and accessibility, it serves as a central hub for both local and international patients seeking world-class orthopaedic care.
OUR APPROACH TO FAIR AND EFFICIENT CARE
Our goal is to provide safe, high-quality care while being respectful of patient preferences and time constraints. By combining patient choice with thoughtful allocation and teamwork, we aim to deliver care that is both personal and efficient.
​
Once your appointment is scheduled, you will receive clear information about what to bring, what to expect, and how to prepare.
BEYOND A SURGICAL UNIT
Stride is more than an orthopaedic centre — we’re an academic and innovation-led institution grounded in clinical excellence. Through research, teaching, and active participation in global registries, we advance the science of joint care while mentoring the next generation of specialists and shaping the future of orthopaedics.
PATIENTS OUTCOMES AND EXPERIENCE
At Stride, every arthroplasty procedure is recorded in an independent joint registry — a global database that tracks surgical outcomes, implant performance, and complication rates. This commitment to transparency allows us to measure ourselves against the world’s best and continuously refine our approach to patient care.
