Specialist care
Orthopaedic services in Addis Ababa
Focused consultation pathways for joint replacement, complex trauma, hip preservation and related orthopaedic conditions.
Total Hip Replacement
We specialize in and pioneer the minimally invasive muscle-sparing anterior total hip replacement approach technique in Ethiopia.
Total Knee Replacement
We provide total knee replacement using the world-class American brand knee replacement prosthesis for our knee replacements.
Partial Hip Replacement
We conduct Partial replacement/ hemiarthroplasty with an anterior approach technique using the American brand modular bipolar prosthesis.
Avascular Necrosis (AVN)
Early-stage avascular necrosis (stages 1 and 2) may be treated with hip-preserving surgery such as core decompression; advanced stages (3 to 5) may need anterior approach total hip replacement. Options are discussed at consultation.
Pelvic Fracture
We provide a minimally invasive technique for the fixation of pelvic fractures to minimize bleeding. This enables us to perform life-saving interventions quickly.

Dr Samuel Hailu completed subspecialty fellowship training in orthopaedic trauma at the University of Toronto in 2015 and performs advanced surgical fixation of pelvic and acetabular fractures.
Femur Neck Fracture
We provide specialized treatment for fractured neck of femur, including percutaneous and minimal invasive fixations as well as muscle-preserving hip replacements.
Hip Fracture
We provide hip fracture treatment, including percutaneous and minimal invasive fixations using cephalomedullary nails, dynamic hip screws, angle blade plates as deemed appropriate.
