Bone and Joint Conditions Managed by Dr. Mohamed Shabaz Sherif
Fractures and Accident-Related Injuries
Falls, road accidents and other injuries can cause fractures and damage to surrounding tissues. Depending on the type and location of the fracture, treatment may involve a cast or splint, while more complex injuries may require surgery using plates, screws or rods to stabilise the bone.
Knee and Hip Pain and Joint Replacement
Knee and hip pain can make walking, climbing stairs and other daily activities difficult. Treatment may include physiotherapy, exercises and medication, depending on the cause. When severe joint damage continues to affect mobility despite non-surgical treatment, joint replacement may be considered.
Sports Injuries and Ligament Tears
Sports injuries can affect the ligaments, muscles and joints. Knee swelling, instability or pain after a sudden twist may indicate a ligament injury, such as an ACL tear. Assessment helps determine whether rehabilitation or surgery is appropriate.
Shoulder Problems
Shoulder pain, stiffness, weakness or difficulty raising the arm may result from tendon injuries, joint stiffness or shoulder instability. Treatment depends on the underlying condition and may involve physiotherapy, medication or surgery when necessary.
Arthroscopy (Keyhole Joint Surgery)
Arthroscopy uses a small camera inserted through small incisions to examine and treat certain joint problems. It is commonly used for selected knee and shoulder conditions. The suitability of this procedure depends on the diagnosis, the extent of the injury and the patient’s individual needs.
When to See an Orthopedic Doctor
Book a visit if you have:
- A bone injury with swelling, bruising or pain that does not ease
- Knee, hip or back pain that makes walking or climbing stairs hard
- A joint that gives way, locks or keeps swelling
- Shoulder pain that disturbs sleep or limits arm movement
- Pain or swelling after a sports injury that has not settled in a few days
- Pain in a leg or arm after a fall that makes it hard to put weight on it
Severe injuries, obvious deformity, an open fracture or sudden loss of movement after an accident require urgent medical assessment.
