The doctor
Dr. Hakam HikmatAlasaad
Orthopaedic consultant — joint arthroplasty and sports medicine
Your bones and joints carry you and move you every day. When knee pain stops you, a fracture catches you off guard, an injury takes you off the pitch, or your child's walk worries you, you need a clear diagnosis and a plan you understand. That is where every visit starts.

As little surgery as possible
Conservative care when it is enough, arthroscopy through small incisions when it fits, open surgery when it is truly the best option.
Until you move again
Surgery is not the finish line: rehabilitation and follow-up continue until you walk, work and play again.
Specialties
Five specialties,one goal: your movement
01Joint arthroplasty & arthroscopy
When cartilage wears out and pain becomes part of your day, we give the joint its movement back: arthroscopy through small incisions for cartilage and ligaments, or a joint arthroplasty when arthritis is advanced.
Ask about your case
02Fractures & dislocations
Simple and complex fractures and dislocations, treated the way each case needs, from a cast to surgical fixation with plates and nails, with follow-up until the bone heals and the limb works again.
Ask about your case
03Sports injuries
ACL tears, meniscus injuries, a shoulder that keeps dislocating… We pin down the injury, usually treat it arthroscopically, and build a rehab plan that gets you back on the pitch.
Ask about your injury
04Bone tumors
Benign and malignant bone lumps and tumors assessed with imaging and biopsy, and a surgical plan that saves the limb and its function wherever possible, together with the specialist medical team.
Request a consultation
05Children's bone deformities
We follow how your child's bones grow and correct congenital and acquired deformities early, such as developmental hip dysplasia, clubfoot and bowed legs, with methods suited to their age.

Quick guide
Where doesit hurt?
Pick an area to see its most common causes and how we treat them, then send it to the doctor in a ready-made message.
Shoulder
- Pain when lifting the arm or lying on it
- Stiffness and limited movement
- A dislocation, or a shoulder that feels unstable
Common causes: rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder, recurrent dislocation, fractures of the upper arm and collarbone.
Sports injuries & shoulder arthroscopyHand & wrist
- Pain and swelling after a fall on the hand
- A deformed wrist or one that is hard to move
- A weak grip
Common causes: wrist and forearm fractures, finger dislocations, tendon inflammation.
Fractures & dislocationsHip & pelvis
- Pain in the upper thigh or groin
- A limp, or trouble walking far
- Difficulty putting on shoes or sitting
Common causes: hip arthritis, hip fractures in older adults, and developmental hip dysplasia in children.
Joint arthroplasty & arthroscopyKnee & leg
- Pain on stairs or when standing up
- Clicking or a knee that locks
- A knee that "gives way" when you move
Common causes: knee arthritis, meniscus tears, ACL rupture, lower-leg fractures.
Joint arthroplasty & arthroscopyFoot & ankle
- An ankle that keeps rolling
- Pain and swelling after an injury
- A foot that looks misshapen in a child
Common causes: torn ankle ligaments, ankle and foot fractures, and clubfoot in children.

Treatment journey
From diagnosisto moving again
01
Exam & listening
We hear your whole story — when the pain started and what makes it worse — then examine the joint or limb carefully.
02
Imaging & a plan
Only the X-rays or MRI you actually need, and a clear explanation of the options — conservative, arthroscopic, surgical — and how long each takes.
03
Treatment or surgery
We choose the least invasive option that does the job. If surgery is needed, it is done in a well-equipped hospital with modern techniques.
04
Rehab & follow-up
A step-by-step movement and physiotherapy programme, with check-ups to make sure the bone is healing and the joint is getting stronger.
05
Back to your life
Walking without pain, back to work, or back on the pitch. That is the goal we plan for from day one.

Ask on WhatsApp01When do I need a joint arthroplasty?
When arthritis is advanced and the pain keeps limiting your walking or sleep despite medication and physiotherapy. The decision comes after the exam and imaging — not every painful knee or hip needs a replacement.
02Arthroscopy or open surgery — what's the difference?
Arthroscopy works through small incisions with a fine camera, so there is usually less pain afterwards and a faster recovery. It doesn't suit every case; we choose what fits yours after the diagnosis.
03When can I return to sport after an injury?
It depends on the injury: a few weeks for some sprains, several months after an ACL reconstruction. A safe return depends on regular rehab and on passing strength and stability tests.
04Does every fracture need an operation?
No. Many fractures heal in a cast with follow-up. We fix a fracture surgically when it is displaced, unstable or runs into a joint, so it heals straight and works fully.
05When should I worry about my child's walk or legs?
If you notice a limp, legs of different lengths, bowing that gets worse with age, or a foot that has been twisted since birth. Catching it early makes treatment simpler and more successful.
