Orthopedics & Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedics & Orthopedic Surgery at Healing Clinic

The Orthopedics and Orthopedic Surgery Department at Healing Clinic in Cairo provides specialized medical care for the diagnosis and treatment of musculoskeletal conditions, including bones, joints, ligaments, and tendons. Our approach is based on a precise medical methodology that relies on comprehensive clinical assessment and selecting the most appropriate treatment plan for each individual case.

The department follows a core principle: successful orthopedic treatment does not start with surgery. It begins with accurate identification of the underlying cause, proper assessment of injury severity, and choosing the least invasive intervention that achieves the best functional outcome—whether conservative management, physical therapy, or surgical intervention when necessary.

When Should You See an Orthopedic Specialist?

You may need a specialized orthopedic evaluation if you experience:

• Persistent joint pain such as knee, shoulder, or hip pain
• Joint stiffness or difficulty with movement
• Sports injuries causing pain, swelling, or functional limitation
• Fractures or injuries resulting from accidents
• Ligament or tendon tears
• Lack of improvement with conservative treatment or physical therapy
• Recurrent pain affecting daily activities or mobility

Conditions Treated by the Orthopedics Department

The orthopedic team at Healing Clinic manages a wide range of conditions, including:

• Simple and complex bone fractures
• Sports injuries and muscle tears
• Ligament and cartilage injuries
• Osteoarthritis and cartilage degeneration
• Joint instability
• Knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle pain
• Tendon and soft tissue injuries

Orthopedic Surgical Procedures and Interventional Treatments

First: Fracture and Trauma Surgery

Bone fractures and traumatic injuries are managed using advanced surgical fixation techniques, including plates, screws, and appropriate internal fixation methods, with the goal of restoring normal alignment, minimizing complications, and accelerating the healing process.

Second: Arthroscopic Joint Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is one of the most advanced techniques in modern orthopedics, allowing accurate diagnosis and effective treatment of joint injuries with minimal surgical intervention. These procedures include:

• Knee arthroscopy for cartilage tears and ligament injuries
• Shoulder arthroscopy for recurrent dislocation and tendon tears
• Arthroscopic procedures for other joints depending on the type of injury

These surgeries are associated with reduced postoperative pain, shorter recovery periods, and faster return to daily and athletic activities.

Third: Joint Replacement Surgery

In advanced stages of osteoarthritis that do not respond to conservative treatment, joint replacement surgery may be the most appropriate therapeutic option—particularly for the knee and hip, and especially Reverse Shoulder Replacement—aiming to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve quality of life.

Diagnostic Approach and Treatment Decision-Making

The Orthopedics Department at Healing Clinic follows a precise diagnostic process that includes comprehensive clinical examination, assessment of joint biomechanics, and the use of advanced diagnostic tools such as musculoskeletal ultrasound and appropriate imaging studies.

Continuous collaboration is maintained with the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Department and the Pain Management Department to ensure accurate diagnosis and prevent unnecessary or premature surgical decisions.

The Role of Physical Therapy in Orthopedic Conditions

Physical therapy is a fundamental component in the management of most orthopedic conditions, whether as a primary treatment in early stages, as part of preoperative rehabilitation, or as postoperative rehabilitation to restore strength, mobility, and function. Rehabilitation programs are individually tailored for each patient through close coordination between the orthopedic physician and the physical therapist.
