Corrective Surgeries
High‑quality orthopaedic and reconstructive procedures for children and adults – restoring function, relieving pain, and enabling independence.
Expert Surgical Care, Compassionate Healing
Nyabondo Centre has performed over 12,000 corrective surgeries since its founding. Our surgical team brings decades of combined experience in orthopaedic and reconstructive procedures, working in a fully equipped operating theatre with modern anaesthesia and monitoring equipment.
We follow a comprehensive care pathway: pre‑surgical assessment, the operation itself, post‑operative inpatient care, and then intensive physiotherapy and occupational therapy to ensure full functional recovery. Our SHA accreditation means eligible patients access these services with minimal out‑of‑pocket costs.
What We Treat
Our surgical team specialises in a wide range of orthopaedic and reconstructive conditions.
Clubfoot (CTEV)
Ponseti method casting followed by tenotomy – a minimally invasive procedure to release the Achilles tendon.
Cleft Lip & Palate
Reconstructive surgery to close the gap, improving feeding, speech, and appearance. Often performed in stages.
Post‑Burn Contractures
Release of scar tissue and skin grafting to restore range of motion in limbs and joints.
Congenital Limb Deformities
Corrective osteotomies, limb lengthening, and realignment procedures for conditions like bowlegs, knock‑knees, and rotational deformities.
Cerebral Palsy Related
Muscle release surgeries (adductor tenotomy, hamstring lengthening, heel cord lengthening) to improve gait and reduce spasticity.
Fractures & Trauma
Internal and external fixation of complex fractures, including post‑traumatic reconstructions.
Hip Dysplasia
Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) – closed or open reduction, pelvic and femoral osteotomies.
Hand & Upper Limb Deformities
Polydactyly, syndactyly, and other congenital hand anomalies.

Follow‑up Clinics
Regular reviews to monitor healing, adjust orthotics, and track long‑term outcomes.
Surgery is Just the Beginning
We believe that the success of any corrective surgery depends as much on what happens afterwards as the procedure itself. Our rehabilitation team works with every surgical patient to:
- Restore strength and range of motion through tailored physiotherapy
- Develop daily living skills through occupational therapy
- Fit custom orthotics or prosthetics from our on‑site workshop
- Provide family training for continued home‑based care
My daughter was born with clubfoot. She could not walk or wear shoes. After the surgery and three months of physiotherapy at Nyabondo, she runs and plays like any other child. We are forever grateful.— Jane, mother of 5‑year‑old Maureen
