Wrist Arthroscopy

Keyhole wrist surgery to diagnose and treat internal pathology. Used for TFCC assessment, ligament evaluation, synovitis debridement, and loose body removal.

TFCC Repair

Triangular fibrocartilage complex repair for wrist pain, clicking, and instability. Arthroscopic or open repair depending on tear type and chronicity.

DRUJ Instability

Distal radio-ulnar joint stabilization for forearm rotation pain and instability. Restores pain-free forearm rotation.

Carpal Ligaments Repair

Repair of scapholunate and lunotriquetral ligament injuries causing wrist instability. Early repair delivers the best functional outcomes.

Scapholunate Ligament Repair

Targeted repair of the most critical wrist stabilizer. Arthroscopic or open repair with reconstruction options for chronic tears.

Ganglion Cyst Excision

Arthroscopic or open removal of wrist and hand ganglion cysts. Arthroscopic excision offers lower recurrence rates.

Malunited / Non-Union Fracture

Corrective surgery for wrist fractures that have healed in a poor position or failed to unite. Osteotomy, bone grafting, and fixation restore alignment.

Corrective Osteotomy Distal Radius

Precise bone realignment for distal radius malunion causing pain, deformity, and lost wrist motion. Plated fixation maintains correction.

Revision of Complicated Cases

Dr. Ali accepts revision cases referred from other surgeons, including failed fixations, complex non-unions, and recurrent instability.

Elbow Surgical Procedures in Dubai

Dr. Ali’s elbow surgery practice covers the full range from arthroscopic elbow surgery for contracture and loose bodies to fracture fixation and ligament reconstruction for instability.

Elbow Arthroscopy

Keyhole elbow surgery for contracture release, loose body removal, synovitis debridement, and osteochondral assessment with rapid recovery.

Elbow Contracture Release

Surgical release of stiff elbow joints caused by trauma, immobilization, or arthritis. Arthroscopic and open techniques restore functional range of motion.

Collateral Ligaments Repair

Repair and reconstruction of medial and lateral collateral ligaments for elbow instability following dislocation or chronic overload.

Elbow Instability

Management of posterolateral rotatory instability, recurrent dislocation, and multi-ligament elbow injuries, including ligament reconstruction.

Elbow Fracture Fixation

Open reduction and internal fixation of distal humerus, radial head, and olecranon fractures with subspecialty expertise.

Forearm Fracture Fixation

Surgical fixation of radius and ulna fractures using anatomic plating. Both forearm bone fractures require precise fixation to restore forearm rotation.

Arm Fracture Fixation

Humeral shaft fracture fixation using intramedullary nailing or plating. Accurate alignment protects the radial nerve and restores arm function.

Hand, Nerve & Tendon Procedures in Dubai

Nerve and tendon injuries of the hand require microsurgical precision and subspecialty training. Dr. Ali’s fellowship training included high-volume nerve repair, nerve reconstruction, and tendon surgery, making him one of Dubai’s most experienced hand surgeons for these complex procedures.

Tendon Repair

Primary repair of flexor and extensor tendons. Zone II flexor injuries require particular expertise for optimal gliding and grip function.

Tendon Transfer

Rerouting a functioning tendon to replace a non-functioning muscle-tendon unit. Used for nerve palsy, rupture, and irreparable injuries.

Nerve Repair

Microsurgical repair of severed peripheral and digital nerves. Best outcomes with primary repair within 72 hours. Restores sensation progressively.

Nerve Transfer (Neurotization)

Rerouting a donor nerve to reinnervate a paralyzed target used when direct nerve repair is not possible. Advanced microsurgical technique.

Ultrasound-Guided Surgery

Minimally invasive release of trigger finger, carpal tunnel, De Quervain's, and Lacertus syndrome using real-time ultrasound; no formal theater required.

Making the right choice

When Is Hand Surgery the Right Choice?

Surgery is not always the first option. Dr. Mohamed Ali always considers non-surgical management splinting, injections, physiotherapy, and ultrasound-guided procedures before recommending a surgical approach. When surgery is indicated, it is because conservative measures have failed or the injury requires surgical repair for the best outcome.

(1) Non-surgical treatment has failed after an appropriate trial.

(2) The injury requires primary repair of nerve cuts, tendon lacerations, and unstable fractures.

(3) The condition is progressive and will worsen without intervention.

(4) The functional deficit significantly affects daily life, work, or sport.
