A Renowned Orthopedic Oncologist Specializing in Trauma Treatment
Expert Orthopedic trauma care
Trauma refers to physical or psychological injuries resulting from accidents, violence, or natural disasters, with orthopedic trauma specifically involving injuries to the musculoskeletal system. Orthopedic Oncologists, although primarily specializing in bone and soft tissue tumors, also play a vital role in managing traumatic injuries that may complicate or intersect with oncological conditions, such as fractures complicated by underlying bone tumors or metastases. Their expertise in musculoskeletal anatomy and surgical techniques makes them valuable in addressing complex trauma cases involving bone or soft tissue injuries, ensuring comprehensive care for patients with overlapping medical needs.
Dr. Mohamed Mashhour is a distinguished orthopedic oncologist with a specialized focus on trauma therapy. With extensive expertise and a commitment to patient care, he is highly regarded in the medical community for his proficiency in addressing complex orthopedic trauma cases, particularly those intertwined with oncological challenges.

Types of Trauma Treated
Dr. Mashhour is adept at managing a wide range of orthopedic trauma conditions, ensuring comprehensive care for his patients. Some of the primary types he treats include:
Fracture: Pathological Fractures: These occur in bones weakened by diseases such as cancer. Dr. Mashhour specializes in the stabilization and repair of these fractures, often using internal fixation devices like plates, screws, and intramedullary rods.
Complex Fractures: These include multi-fragmentary fractures, open fractures, and fractures involving joints. Advanced techniques such as external fixation, bone grafting, and microvascular surgery are employed to ensure proper alignment and healing.
Joint Dislocations: Trauma can often result in dislocated joints, such as shoulder or hip dislocations. Dr. Mashhour uses both closed reduction techniques and open surgical methods to reposition and stabilize dislocated joints, employing arthroscopy for minimally invasive procedures when appropriate.
Bone Grafting: In cases where trauma leads to significant bone loss or defects, Dr. Mashhour uses autografts (patient’s own bone) or allografts (donor bone) to restore structural integrity. Techniques like the Masquelet technique and distraction osteogenesis may be used for large defects.
Metal Implants: Custom-designed metal implants, including endoprostheses, are used to replace large sections of bone that cannot be reconstructed by grafts alone, particularly in cases involving bone tumors.
Tendon and Ligament Repair: Trauma often affects the muscles, tendons, and ligaments surrounding bones and joints. Dr. Mashhour’s approach includes advanced surgical repair techniques, such as tendon transfers, ligament reconstruction, and the use of synthetic grafts.
Muscle Flaps: For extensive soft tissue injuries, muscle flaps (transplantation of muscle tissue to cover a defect) may be employed to enhance healing and function.
Infections
Osteomyelitis: Bone infections can complicate trauma cases, especially in patients with compromised immune systems. Dr. Mashhour’s expertise includes the surgical debridement of infected tissue, antibiotic-impregnated implants, and long-term antibiotic therapy.
Septic Arthritis: Joint infections require prompt intervention. Dr. Mashhour utilizes arthroscopic lavage and debridement, combined with targeted antibiotic therapy, to manage these infections effectively.
Dr. Mohamed Mashhour’s outstanding credentials and dedication to his patients make him a trusted and respected figure in the field of orthopedic trauma treatment.
