He obtain an MB BCh & MSc in Orthopaedics from Cairo University, Egypt, a Diploma from the Société Internationale de Chirurgie Orthopédique et de Traumatologie (SICOT) in Belgium, a Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (FRCS) in Edinburgh, and MD from Leeds University, UK. He has been interested in orthopaedics since his graduation in 1985. Since then, he had no gaps in his training and employment and all my jobs were directly related to orthopaedics. He worked in 5 countries (Egypt, KSA, UK, USA& Canada) with different health care systems; each country has different endemic diseases and its own challenging conditions.

His special interest is Computer assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS), particularly Patient specific instruments (PSI) with experience in navigation and robotics hip and knee arthroplasty but he has a broad based experience in general orthopaedics and traumatology that was gained during his training and work in UK for > 20 years. He is a consultant to ConforMIS, USA and SurgiNovi, UK.He rotated to all orthopaedic subspecialties (trauma, hip and knee, foot & ankle, spine, paediatric and upper limb surgery). He had arthroplasty fellowship in Wrightington Hospital, Wigan, UK (2004), Western Pennsylvania Hospital, Pittsburgh, USA (2004-2005) & St Michael’s Hospital, Toronto University, Canada (2006).The North American fellowship (Pittsburgh and Toronto) gave him a valuable experience in lower limb arthroplasty & computer assisted surgery. During his Toronto job, he used to perform about 5 to 7 hip & knee arthroplasty procedures per week. These procedures included primary & revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) & total knee arthroplasty (TKA), navigation TKA, navigation hip resurfacing.

In UK, he currently work as a consultant orthopaedic surgeon in NHS hospitals (locum). This work usually involves outpatient clinics and operative sessions predominantly hip and knee arthroplasty ± on call for trauma. Since 2016, he has been working as a Locum Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon at Dumfries & Galloway Royal Infirmary (DGRI), Scotland. This work involved outpatient clinics and operative sessions predominantly hip and knee arthroplasty in addition to on-call duties for trauma. The hip replacement are a mix of cemented, uncemented and hybrid, while all knee replacement are cemented.

His position as an Honorary Visiting Professor at Cardiff University is focused on research and education. This involves teaching undergraduate and postgraduate students at the School of Engineering, running workshops for research students and supervising PhD projects. During the last 3 years we had 2 PhD students, who are orthopaedic surgeons working on 3D printing technology for bone and joint surgery. One has been working on developing patient specific guides for ACL reconstruction and the other on custom made guides for percutaneous fixation of fractures. His role as a Visiting Professor in Orthopaedics at New Vision University in Tbilisi, Georgia is delivered virtually most of the time.

In Egypt, he work as a Professor of Orthopaedics at the Faculty of Medicine, October 6 University (O6U), Cairo. He established a subspeciality services with 15 visiting consultants (2 in each subspeciality). He organized a training program in orthopaedics that has been developed to be a “professional diploma”. He also work of as a part time Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon in Ministry of Health (MoH) Hospitals. He worked at the National Orthopaedic Hospital (Al Helal) & work at Wadi El Neel (Military) Hospital.
