Dr Janus Beukes – Orthopaedic Surgeon – Erasmuskloof practices at Mediclinic Kloof, where he specialises in both general and shoulder orthopaedic care. He earned his MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 2008 and completed an MMed (Orthopaedics) at the same institution in 2022. Additionally, Dr Beukes attained his Fellowship in Orthopaedic Surgery (FC Orth SA) from the Colleges of Medicine that same year. Consequently, he is registered with the Health Professions Council of South Africa, and he combines rigorous academic training with hands‑on surgical expertise.
Dr Beukes’s core focus lies in minimally invasive and arthroscopic procedures. Moreover, he has advanced proficiency in shoulder arthroscopy, including rotator‑cuff repair and stabilization techniques. Furthermore, he employs 3D imaging and fluoroscopic guidance to enhance surgical precision and patient safety. Above all, his patient‑centered philosophy means that he takes the time to explain every step clearly, and he tailors care plans to individual lifestyles and recovery goals. By integrating cutting‑edge technology with a gentle bedside manner, Dr Beukes ensures both optimal outcomes and a reassuring experience for every patient.
At Mediclinic Kloof, Dr Beukes delivers a comprehensive range of orthopaedic interventions, each supported by state‑of‑the‑art equipment and personalised care:
Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery – Involves minimally invasive repair of rotator‑cuff tears, labral injuries, and instability ; moreover, fluid‑management systems promote faster healing.
Shoulder Joint Replacement – Utilises advanced prosthetics for total and reverse shoulder arthroplasty, and 3D preoperative planning ensures accurate implant positioning.
Fracture Management – Covers internal fixation of clavicle, humerus, and proximal humerus fractures with locking plates and intramedullary nails ; in addition, intraoperative C‑arm imaging guides alignment.
Sports Injury Treatment – Focuses on dislocations, ligament reconstructions (e.g., AC joint), and stabilization procedures, thereby restoring function for athletes and active individuals.
Non‑Surgical Therapies & Injections – Offers image‑guided steroid or platelet‑rich plasma (PRP) injections for rotator‑cuff tendinopathy and early osteoarthritis ; consequently, many patients experience significant symptom relief without surgery.
Rehabilitation Planning – Collaborates closely with physiotherapists to craft bespoke rehab programmes, which accelerate recovery and minimise recurrence.
Each service emphasises patient comfort, and the clinical team provides clear pre‑ and post‑operative guidance. Furthermore, follow‑up consultations ensure that progress aligns with healing milestones.
Mediclinic Kloof features a fully equipped orthopaedic theatre with modern arthroscopy towers, C‑arm fluoroscopy, and an on‑site digital imaging suite for rapid diagnostics. Moreover, the multidisciplinary team includes anaesthetists, physiotherapists, and pain‑management specialists, so that complex cases receive seamless, collaborative care. In addition, the hospital’s recovery wards offer private, comfortable rooms where nurses monitor progress around the clock.
