Prof. Dr. Ibrahim Abdelmonem is a Professor of Orthopedic Surgery at Ain Shams University, specializing in knee arthroscopy and joint replacement. He has clinics in Nasr City, Fifth Settlement, and Mohandessin, and is considered the best orthopedic doctor specializing in the knee. Who is the best orthopedic doctor specializing in the knee? An orthopedic knee

Learn about the types of knee injections in Egypt (Cortisone – Hyaluronic – PRP), available drug names, their prices in Egyptian Pounds, and their results in treating knee osteoarthritis. What are knee injections? A knee injection is a therapeutic procedure directed directly into the knee joint to relieve pain and inflammation or to stimulate cartilage

Knee osteoarthritis is one of the most prevalent joint disorders in Egypt, affecting over 30% of adults aged 50 and above. It is directly associated with elevated body weight, repeated deep squatting, and uncorrected genu varum (bowed legs). Osteoarthritis is a progressive, irreversible degenerative process—damaged hyaline cartilage does not regenerate—yet disease progression and clinical symptoms

There are multiple types of knee effusion rather than a single entity—the characteristics of the intra-articular fluid determine the underlying cause, clinical risk level, and required management protocol. The difference between clear fluid (associated with osteoarthritis) and cloudy, purulent fluid (associated with septic arthritis) represents the difference between a chronic manageable condition and an orthopedic

Knee effusion is one of the most common reasons for visiting an orthopedic clinic in Egypt. It is not a disease in itself, but rather a clinical sign indicating an intra-articular pathology that requires accurate diagnosis. The accumulated fluid may be excess synovial fluid (as seen in osteoarthritis and inflammatory conditions), blood (in trauma and

Recovery following corrective High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) in adults requires a structured, phased approach because mature cortical bone consolidates slower than pediatric bone, delaying full weight-bearing for 8 to 12 weeks. Premature full weight-bearing is the leading cause of hardware fatigue and loss of correction, whereas prolonged immobility induces joint contracture and muscle atrophy. Balancing

The success rate of adult bowed legs surgery (High Tibial Osteotomy – HTO) depends primarily on the preoperative stage of medial compartment osteoarthritis. This critical baseline determines whether a joint-preserving realignment will be successful or whether total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is required directly. Early intervention—prior to end-stage Grade 4 chondral loss—preserves the native joint and

Corrective High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) for adult genu varum achieves an 85% to 90% clinical success rate. However, it represents a major structural procedure compared to pediatric interventions because mature cortical bone heals more slowly and requires rigid internal fixation. The most frequent complication is delayed bone union at the osteotomy site—particularly in active smokers,

The cost of adult bowed legs surgery (High Tibial Osteotomy – HTO) varies significantly based on the surgical technique, implant specifications, and deformity severity. Serving as a biological, joint-preserving intervention, HTO represents a high-value clinical investment by offloading the arthritic medial compartment and delaying or preventing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by 10 to 15 years

Bowed legs (genu varum) in adults differs fundamentally from pediatric cases: because adult growth plates are closed, guided growth is not possible. Realignment requires a High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)—a joint-preserving procedure that redistributes mechanical load across the knee joint, relieving pain and delaying or preventing total knee arthroplasty (TKA) by 10 to 15 years.
