Arthroscopy in Dr. Ahmed Gadallah — Orthopedic & Sports Injury Surgeon
About the clinic
Arthroscopy at the clinic of Dr. Ahmed Gadallah in Cairo, Egypt, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. This surgery uses a small camera and specialized tools to repair tissues without large incisions. The clinic is led by a surgeon who is a member of the European Foot and Ankle Society and maintains a high rating based on 90+ reviews.
How Arthroscopy Works
The surgeon makes small portals to insert a camera and instruments into the joint. This camera sends images to a screen, allowing for targeted treatment. The procedure typically lasts between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Most patients receive treatment in an outpatient setting and go home the same day. Dr. Ahmed Gadallah performs 40+ operations every month, focusing on sports injuries and joint reconstruction.
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
This technique helps patients with a variety of joint issues in the knee, shoulder, and ankle. Specific applications include:
- Knee treatments for meniscus tears, cartilage damage, and ACL repairs.
- Shoulder repairs for rotator cuff injuries, labrum tears, and joint instability.
- Ankle procedures to remove loose bodies or treat synovial conditions.
- Biceps tendon repairs and treatments for joint impingement.
Recovery and Patient Support
Recovery times vary based on the complexity of the joint repair. A minor cleaning of the joint may take about 1 week. More intensive surgeries, like a meniscus repair, can require several months of healing. The clinic provides support for international patients traveling to Cairo. This includes airport transfers, local transportation, and furnished housing during the treatment period. You can leave a request on Bookimed to receive a personalized treatment plan for your joint injury.

Dr. Ahmed Gadallah — Orthopedic & Sports Injury Surgeon: more details about the clinic
Medical Expertise and Surgical Volume
Dr. Ahmed Gadallah maintains an active surgical practice, performing approximately 40–50 operations per month. The clinic treats complex musculoskeletal conditions using both surgical and conservative methods. Dr. Gadallah holds a Master of Science and is pursuing a PhD at Cairo University. His research focuses on minimally invasive fixation techniques.
Dr. Gadallah is a member of the European Foot & Ankle Society (EFAS) and has completed advanced AO Trauma and Reconstruction training. He also participates in international workshops and symposia in locations like Budapest. This academic background shapes the clinic's focus on precision and functional recovery.
Orthopedic Specialties and Procedures
The clinic provides full care for bone and joint conditions, from acute trauma to elective reconstruction. Each treatment plan starts with a diagnosis-led assessment of the patient's anatomy and goals.
Trauma and Fracture Care
The practice manages simple and complex fractures through assessment, reduction, stabilization, and rehabilitation. Dr. Gadallah focuses on intra-articular fractures, where injuries involve joint surfaces. Reduction and fixation are planned based on the specific fragmentation and stability of each injury.
Limb Reconstruction and Lengthening
Specialized reconstruction services address limb-length discrepancies, shortening, and deformities. The clinic offers several methods for these complex cases:
- Internal Lengthening Nail – gradual bone lengthening without an external frame.
- Guided growth – alignment correction for growing children.
- Combined reconstruction – staged procedures for cases with both shortening and deformity.
- Cosmetic stature lengthening – elective height increase with detailed proportion planning.
Deformity correction includes mechanical axis assessment to evaluate limb alignment and load transmission. Surgeons identify the apex of the deformity to define the most effective strategy.
Sports Medicine and Joint Replacement
For sports injuries, the clinic uses arthroscopy to evaluate and treat meniscus, cartilage, and ligament problems. Total knee replacement is available for advanced osteoarthritis when non-surgical treatments no longer help. Every joint procedure is followed by structured recovery to restore mobility and muscle strength.
Advanced Technologies and Diagnostics
The clinic uses modern diagnostic tools and therapeutic technologies to support patient recovery. Diagnostics include MRI, CT scans, and X-rays to assess bone formation, joint motion, and soft tissue health. These tools are essential for monitoring bone healing during reconstruction.
For non-surgical care and postoperative recovery, the clinic uses INDIBA TECAR therapy. This technology applies fixed 448 kHz radiofrequency to manage pain and support musculoskeletal recovery. Individualized injection therapies are also available, including Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) and hyaluronic acid.
Services for International Patients
The clinic provides coordinated support for patients traveling to Cairo for orthopedic care. International services help manage the logistics of major surgery and long-term recovery. Available support includes:
- Airport transfers and local driver coordination.
- Furnished accommodation close to the medical facilities.
- Physiotherapy and personalized rehabilitation coordination.
- Home nurse visits for post-treatment support when needed.
- Assistance with hospital and surgery scheduling.
International patients are encouraged to provide previous radiology reports and medical records for preliminary planning. Staff members offer support in Arabic and English to help patients through their treatment.
