Our results are equivalent to the international records, if not better
By Dr. Maher Yousef, Consultant Orthopedic Surgery at Al-Ahli Hospital - Doha / Qatar
In this current time and with the great and accelerating scientific progress the world is witnessing, it has become difficult and even impossible to fully understand all aspects of any science, so it has become necessary to specialize in a narrower and more accurate field, focus on that field and be familiar with all its new developments and updates. There is no doubt that this will reflect positively on the patient, as the doctor will be more knowledgeable and informed in his specialty, and he will have accumulated experience in the specialization that no other has, and this is what is unique to the orthopedic clinics in Al-Ahli Hospital, as it has the capabilities and equipment that have enabled it to achieve several successes. Dr. Maher Yousef, Consultant Orthopedic Surgery at Al-Ahli Hospital, talked about these clinics and the successes they have achieved.
Dr. Maher Yousef, Consultant Orthopedic Surgery, is highly specialized in total knee and hip-joint replacement surgery and sports injuries of the knee, such as anterior cruciate ligament injuries, tear of meniscus, and other knee injuries, as well as treatment of injuries and fractures for all age groups. Here, the distinction of those with a sub-specialty is distinguished by outstanding results represented in the rapid recovery from surgeries in the near term and the persistence of these results for decades over the internationally sanctioned level, or even better.
Outstanding Success
He said: "We are proud that I had performed an artificial knee joint or hip replacement surgery on patients who had undergone a similar surgery of an artificial knee joint or hip replacement of the other side in another hospital, and they were able to compare the two experiences, where everyone confirmed that there is a vast and wide difference between the two experiences, that their last operation was accompanied by much less pain than the first, and that recovery from the last operation was much faster than the first operation." He added: "There is also the accurate diagnostic aspect that distinguishes us from the rest of the medical centers. We are also distinguished in orthopedic clinics at Al-Ahli Hospital, by using the latest technologies and joints available that give the patient the best results, such as bending the knee fully, the ability to sit on the ground and the ability to pray on the ground, as is the case of a healthy, natural joint. The latest technologies and joints also give the patient the longest sustainability for his new joint."
Global Level
Moreover, he continued: "According to the British and Scandinavian records, more than 90% of the patients who underwent knee joint replacement surgeries, on which 20 years have passed, their joints are still in good condition. With an experience of more than thirty years in this field, I acknowledge that our results are equivalent to the global records mentioned above, if not better. Sometimes the patient's condition becomes very critical, with which parts of the bone are lost due to neglect of the patient and being left for a long time, which constitutes a challenge with that we successfully deal with in our hospital."
Many Cases
He concluded by saying: "There are many cases that have been successfully dealt with, such as the removal of tumors from the shinbone, and bone transplant with supporting the locality with metal plates, and there are also sports injuries of the knee that occur to the younger youth group, which may result in tearing of the anterior cruciate ligament, tear of cartilagines falcatae on both sides, and possibly other parts of the knee, which require dealing with all these injuries simultaneously, by replacing the cruciate ligament and repairing the cartilagines falcatae, all through speculum, using the most modern methods used globally. WE SUCCESSFULLY DEAL WITH CASES OF SHINBONE ABLATION, CRUCIATE LIGAMENT REPLACEMENT, AND MENISCUS REPAIR.
