Dr Phillip de Lange – Orthopaedic Surgeon – Centurion

Dr Phillip de Lange is a Specialist Orthopaedic Surgeon at Mediclinic Midstream in Centurion. He earned his MBChB from the University of Pretoria in 2003 and completed his Fellowship in Orthopaedic Surgery (FC Orth SA) through the Colleges of Medicine in 2012. Since then, he has built over two decades of experience in diagnosing and treating complex musculoskeletal conditions.

Moreover, Dr de Lange co‑performed Africa’s first intramedullary limb‑lengthening surgery using the Precice nail system. This pioneering procedure replaced bulky external fixators with a fully implantable, magnetically controlled device. Consequently, patients benefited from fewer infections and faster rehabilitation.

Furthermore, he maintains active memberships in the South African Orthopaedic Association and the International Society of Limb Lengthening. Additionally, he publishes regularly in peer‑reviewed journals on topics such as fracture fixation and joint preservation.
