About me

My name is Lee Van Rensburg, Consultant trauma and orthopaedic surgeon. My particular area of interest is disorders of the upper limb, particularly shoulder and elbow disorders. I also have a special interest in trauma. I hold a full time consultant post in trauma and orthopaedics, based at Addenbrooke's hospital, part of the Cambridge Hospitals NHS trust. I also consult and operate at the Spire Cambridge Lea Hospital and the Nuffield Hospital in Cambridge. I completed my primary medical training in 1993 at the University of the Witwatersrand, Johannesburg, South Africa. After moving to the United Kingdom in 1996, I completed my Basic surgical training at West Suffolk Hospital, Bury St Edmunds and completed my Higher surgical training on the East Anglian orthopaedic rotation (Cambridge) in 2005. I undertook a fellowship predominantly in trauma at the Alfred hospital, Melbourne, Australia in 2006.
