About
Team Osseo Stellies
Driven to achieve greatness.
United by shared expertise.
Our South African team is dedicated to advancing prosthetic rehabilitation through osseointegration, a cutting-edge procedure where prosthetic implants are directly anchored into the bone. This approach overcomes many of the limitations of traditional socket-based prosthetics, offering improved stability, comfort, proprioception, and overall mobility for patients.
Led by Dr. Franz Birkholtz, orthopaedic surgeon, our team combines surgical expertise with patient-focused care, helping individuals regain confidence, independence, and quality of life.
As a highly respected Orthopaedic Surgeon and CEO of the Institute for Orthopaedics and Rheumatology, Dr. Birkholtz brings over two decades of experience dedicated to advancing the science and practice of limb reconstruction.
Recognised as a world leader in complex limb reconstruction and orthopaedic innovation, his work combines cutting-edge research, surgical excellence, and a deep commitment to patient-centred care.
Through continuous innovation and collaboration, Dr. Birkholtz strives to deliver services that restore mobility, function, and quality of life.
