Meet Dr Jitesh Rajpaul who brings more than 10 years of specialist experience to Life Mount Edgecombe Hospital, focusing on hip and knee reconstruction, joint replacement and complex trauma.
He qualified as a specialist in 2015, holds a fellowship and masters degree, and has postgraduate experience in complex hip and knee replacement surgery. A former Head of Orthopaedic Surgery at RK Khan Hospital, he has taught and mentored at UKZN and presented as faculty, sharing his experience with fellow surgeons and trainees.
Mentorship has shaped his own career, too. Dr Rajpaul was mentored by Dr Roy Rajoo, whom he has since succeeded in practice, a meaningful connection for patients and families who have known the practice over the years.
His practice includes robotic-assisted knee replacement, while his approach to care centres on listening, explaining treatment options and making informed decisions together.
Dr Rajpaul’s group practice, together with partners Dr Keegan Naidoo and Dr Naven Naidoo, offers a comprehensive orthopaedic service encompassing spine, upper-limb and lower-limb surgery. The full spectrum of the group’s orthopaedic services, including complex upper-limb and hand surgery, is available at Life Mount Edgecombe Hospital.
