Academic Leadership and Accreditations

Prof. Dr. Ahmed Sallam leads the clinic with around 20 years of experience. He is a Professor at Ain Shams University and heads the Pelvic Surgery Unit at Ain Shams University Hospital – Cairo's largest medical referral center. Prof. Dr. Sallam holds several professional registrations and international memberships:

The clinic regularly treats international patients from Sudan, Yemen, and GCC countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Patient feedback highlights professional post-operative monitoring and smooth coordination for travelers.

Orthopedic Specialties and Complex Surgery

The facility provides full care for degenerative joint diseases and traumatic injuries. Specialists treat coxarthrosis, osteoarthritis, and avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The surgical team uses 3D Planning technology and digital mapping to improve accuracy. Key orthopedic services include:

• Total Joint Arthroplasty – primary and revision hip and knee replacements using high-durability implants
• Complex Pelvic Reconstruction – specialized treatment for acetabular fractures and severe pelvic trauma
• Sports Medicine – arthroscopic surgeries for torn ligaments and cartilage in the knee or shoulder
• Bone Fracture Treatment – internal fixation of complex and non-union fractures using anatomical plates
• Spine Surgery – minimally invasive options including endoscopic discectomy and spinal decompression

Surgeons use muscle-sparing techniques for joint replacements, which supports faster mobility. For patients with early-stage osteoarthritis, the clinic offers PRP Therapy. This non-surgical treatment concentrates platelets from the patient's own blood using a centrifuge.

Advanced Surgical Technologies

The clinic relies on modern diagnostic and treatment platforms to plan complex reconstructions. Digital mapping lets surgeons visualize bone anatomy before the first incision. This is especially useful for difficult pelvic injuries where precise alignment is critical. All surgeries take place in hybrid operating rooms at partner hospitals equipped for intensive care.

Services for International Patients

The clinic offers a dedicated medical tourism workflow for patients traveling to Cairo. A remote assessment service lets patients send medical scans via WhatsApp for an initial opinion. This helps create a proposed treatment plan before leaving home. International services include:

• Remote video consultations and WhatsApp case reviews
• Airport pickup and local transportation assistance
• Hotel suggestions and administrative support
• English-language communication for medical case files

After surgery, patients follow a structured rehabilitation plan tailored to their activity goals. The team provides periodic check-ins and remote monitoring once patients return home. This ensures continuous follow-up during the three to six months needed for full recovery.
