Back on your feet, and back in the game.
Dr Shaun East treats sports injuries of the knee, ankle, hip, wrist and hand, and performs hip and knee replacements for joints that have worn beyond repair.

- ACL, PCL and collateral ligament repair and reconstruction after sporting and twisting injuries.
- Meniscus repair
- Repair or trimming of torn cartilage in the knee, done arthroscopically wherever possible.
- Arthroscopy

About Dr East
Dr Shaun East qualified as an orthopaedic surgeon in 2011 at the University of Pretoria. He began in dual practice, as a consultant surgeon at Kalafong Hospital and the University of Pretoria alongside part-time private practice.
He has practised at Mediclinic Kloof since 2012, where he developed a special interest in sports orthopaedics: knee ligament and meniscal injuries, ankle injuries, hip injuries, and wrist and hand pathologies. He also has a particular interest in hip and knee arthroplasty.
What patients say
Dr East explained exactly what was going on with my knee and what my options were. No pressure to operate. When I did decide on surgery, the whole process at Kloof was calm and well organised.
Tore my ACL playing club rugby. Reconstruction, clear rehab plan, and I was back on the field the next season. He takes the time to answer every question.
My mother had her hip replaced at 74 and was walking with a frame the next day. The practice staff were kind and the follow-up was thorough.
