Paediatric Orthopaedic Care, Tailored for Children

“I believe that children are not little adults. I have dedicated my professional career to understanding all the aspects that make Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery a highly specialised field.”

– Prof Ruan Goller

Why Choose a Paediatric Orthopaedic
Specialist?

Many people don’t realise this, but children’s bones, joints, and injuries are very different from adults.

Their bodies are growing, changing, and developing- which means their care needs to be precise, specialized, and handled with the future in mind.

As an Orthopaedic Surgeon with a special interest in Paediatric Care, I work exclusively with children –treating everything from injuries and fractures to more complex orthopedic conditions.

Hi, I am Prof Ruan Goller

I strive to help children get back to being children, and free them from as much pain and discomfort as I can. I have been in private practice since 2010, and I am currently head of the Paediatric Orthopaedic Unit at Steve Biko Academic Hospital.

As a father myself I understand the worry and anxiety that comes with an injured child and as a Specialist it is my passion to help.

My Mission

My mission is to make sure children receive the best paediatric care possible- so they can get back to being kids, free from pain and discomfort.

I aim to achieve this by treating each child in my care with all the skills and knowledge I have, ensuring I have a good relationship with my patients, their care-givers and my medical team and making myself available to other healthcare practitioners for teaching and advice.

I accept speaking invitations to help expand the knowledge and understanding of this highly specialised field.

Are you a Medical Practitioner who needs some advice?

If you’re a fellow healthcare provider looking for advice, a second opinion, or guidance on a paediatric orthopaedic case – you’re very welcome here.

Sharing my knowledge

I’m passionate about sharing knowledge—especially when it comes to improving paediatric orthopaedic care.

If you’re organizing a conference, academic event, workshop, or webinar and are looking for a speaker to contribute insight on paediatric orthopaedics, surgical training, or the importance of child-specific care, I’d be honoured to be involved.
