Orthopedic Surgery

Orthopedic surgery involves the management of conditions related to bones and joints of the body, including any nerves, ligaments, muscles and tendons associated with their function.

Dr. Moosa Kazim, FACS, FRCS (C), orthopedic surgeon.  Dr. Kazim received his orthopedic training in one of the finest North American Residency Programs, the University of Western Ontario in Canada.

This was followed by further specialty training (fellowships) in sports medicine (knee, shoulder) and foot/ankle.  He then went on to the academic staff of the University of Miami in Florida as an assistant professor.  The University of Miami is a major American Hospital and Trauma Center with an active training program for orthopedic surgeons in various specialties.

Dr. Kazim then went into private practice in the Washington DC area for about 10 years as a sub-specialist doing purely sports medicine in a group of 10 busy orthopedic surgeons.  He moved to Dubai in 1996 and soon founded Orthosports Medical Center, a specialty clinic for orthopedics, sports medicine and rehabilitation.

Dr. Kazim’s practice covers all aspects of orthopedics and orthopedic surgery, including  certain unique procedures and techniques:

1. Joint arthroscopy using microfracture and other specialized procedures on the articular cartilage.
2. Specialized surgical procedures on the shoulder including arthroscopy, arthroscopic rotator cuff repair, and shoulder arthroplasty (joint replacement)
3. Surgical procedures on the hip to include hip arthroscopy and surface replacement arthroplasty (hip resurfacing).
4. Specialized reconstructive surgery of the foot and ankle.
5. Prolotherapy (involving the use of natural substances for injections instead of chemicals like cortisone).
