Dr. Putso Motubatse

Putso Motubatse is an academic researcher in orthopaedic surgery whose work addresses emerging infectious diseases and their implications for surgical practice. With a focus on clinical safety and evidence-informed care, the research engages contemporary global health challenges affecting musculoskeletal services.

A recent narrative review on mpox in orthopaedic settings examines transmission risks, perioperative precautions, and management strategies. The work synthesizes existing literature to clarify risk factors, highlight infection prevention measures, and recommend postponement of elective procedures in affected patients, emphasizing patient and staff safety.

The scholarship demonstrates strength in interdisciplinary analysis, linking virology, public health, and orthopaedic practice. As current output is limited, this profile reflects emerging contributions that advocate for standardized surgical guidelines and further investigation into infectious disease preparedness within orthopaedics.
