Dr Gadi Epstein

Dr Gadi Epstein is an experienced orthopaedic surgeon who specializes in complex limb conditions and diabetic foot care. He treats both children and adults with limb deformities, including differences in leg length, bone healing problems such as non-unions and mal-unions, and complications that arise after fractures.

Using advanced surgical techniques, he helps patients regain mobility and correct structural issues. Dr Epstein also manages serious bone and joint infections, including those that occur after injuries or surgeries, and chronic conditions like osteomyelitis. His expertise extends to the diagnosis and treatment of bone tumours, whether benign or malignant, and includes working with oncology teams to provide comprehensive care.

Dr Epstein has a special interest in diabetic foot care, where he helps patients prevent and treat foot ulcers, manage deformities like Charcot foot, and avoid amputations through limb-saving procedures. He works closely with a team of specialists to ensure holistic care and long-term recovery.

Treatment includes:

• Advanced limb reconstruction using cutting-edge techniques to restore function and correct deformities
• Infection management, particularly in cases of post-traumatic or post-surgical complications
• Orthopaedic oncology, working closely with oncology teams to deliver comprehensive care for bone tumour patients
• Diabetic limb preservation, including management of Charcot foot and limb-saving procedures to prevent amputation

Dr Epstein’s goal is to help patients live fully and move confidently—whether through advanced limb reconstruction, infection control, tumour management, or diabetic foot care.

Dr Epstein is committed to helping patients regain mobility, independence, and quality of life through tailored treatment plans and compassionate care and a driver behind Limb Reconstruction innovation in South Africa.
