I am a Consultant Trauma and Orthopaedic Surgeon at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, specialising in robotic-assisted surgery, hip and knee surgery, lower limb trauma and complex orthopaedic reconstruction. I work with patients from Cambridge and across the East of England providing specialist care for both elective joint replacement and complex trauma-related conditions.

My clinical practice focuses on hip replacement surgery, knee replacement surgery and arthroscopic (keyhole) knee surgery, alongside the management of lower limb sports injuries and complex reconstructive cases. I also have extensive experience in pelvic and acetabular trauma surgery, treating patients with serious lower limb injuries using minimally invasive and percutaneous surgical techniques where appropriate.

Alongside my private practice at Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital, I have been an Orthopaedic Consultant Surgeon since 2017 and currently care for trauma and orthopaedic patients at Addenbrooke’s University Hospital, where I am part of the Cambridge Orthopaedic Pelvic Unit (COPU), the Orthopaedic Trauma Unit, and serve as Major Trauma Clinical Lead. My two main passions in clinical practice are complex hip and knee replacement surgery and the treatment of major trauma injuries.

I studied Medicine at the University of Cambridge and University College London, before completing a prestigious fellowship at the Royal London Hospital Major Trauma Centre, where I gained advanced experience in complex trauma, pelvic and acetabular injuries, and revision joint replacement surgery. Following my fellowship, I worked as a consultant at Salford Royal Hospital, where I helped establish the pelvic and acetabular trauma service within the newly formed Major Trauma Centre, before returning to Cambridge.

Inderpal Singh

I am a Consultant Geriatrician at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board and Honorary…

… Senior Lecturer at Cardiff University. My qualifications include MBBS, MD, MRCP (UK), MSc (Ageing, Health and Disease), and FRCP.

My special interest is to provide care to older people at risk of falls or have experienced falls previously. I can provide specialist advice for osteoporosis care and to help you minimise the risk of another fragility fracture.

I can also offer bone health assessment in case you have risk-factors like family history of fragility fracture, long term-condition like coeliac disorder, bowel disorders leading to reduced absorption, previous have both ovaries removed or have received hormonal treatment for breast/prostate cancer or taking certain drugs like steroids over longer period.

I have a special interest in osteoporosis care and can offer expert advice and treatment with specialist osteoporosis medications eg anabolic treatment (bone-forming medications). These drugs are intended to prescribe using a ‘treat to target’ approach to build bones. After the initial course of these drugs, patients need regular follow-up for ‘sequence treatment’ with other osteoporosis drugs over longer period.

Her clinical interests include bone and joint infections, cerebral palsy, and limb reconstruction. She is pursuing a PhD focused on bone infections in children.

Her academic work includes first-author publications on clubfoot, women’s experiences in orthopaedics, paediatric osteomyelitis, and wrist arthroscopy (from an earlier phase when she anticipated a career in hand surgery). She also contributes to the adult and paediatric trauma service, both of which represent a significant portion of Tygerberg’s high-volume caseload.

Dr Thiart is a founding member of the South African Female Orthopaedic Surgeons’ Society (SAFOSS). As one of the approximately 5% of orthopaedic surgeons in South Africa who are women, she is dedicated to expanding opportunities for women in the field and promoting orthopaedics as a rewarding and accessible specialty.
