About the clinic

Meniscus tear care at Burjeel Medical City (BMC) in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, includes imaging and arthroscopic surgery. Dr. Ahmad Baha Mousa, Consultant Orthopedic Surgeon, has over 20 years of experience and 3,000+ procedures. He holds a “Knee Surgeon” certificate from the German Knee Society and focuses on meniscus and ligament repair.

Meniscus tear diagnostics

Imaging helps assess the knee and guide treatment planning. The clinic offers MRI and musculoskeletal ultrasound, with reports from subspecialty radiologists.

  • Knee MRI. Shows structures inside the knee, including the meniscus.
  • Musculoskeletal ultrasound. Provides imaging of knee structures.
  • Musculoskeletal MRI reporting. Subspecialty radiologists review and report MRI findings.

Arthroscopic and joint-preserving treatment

The JCI-accredited hospital’s Burjeel Orthopedic Institute focuses on joint-saving techniques. Dr. Ahmad Baha Mousa also specializes in ACL/PCL and multi-ligament reconstruction.

  • Knee arthroscopy. A minimally invasive procedure that lets the surgeon inspect and treat the knee joint.
  • Meniscus repair. Arthroscopic repair aims to preserve the meniscus and joint tissue rather than remove them.
  • Combined knee sports-injury reconstruction. Arthroscopy can address a meniscus tear with ACL or multi-ligament injuries in one approach.
  • Cartilage repair procedures. Microfracture, osteotomy, and PRP are joint-preserving options for cartilage damage or osteoarthritis alongside a meniscus injury.

The Paley Middle East Clinic at BMC also focuses on limb reconstruction and joint preservation. Patients can request a consultation through Bookimed to discuss assessment and treatment options.
