Four areas of specialist expertise.
Each area below is part of Dr. Ahmad Dimassi's specialist expertise. The right treatment for any problem is decided after a medical assessment, and many conditions are managed without surgery.
Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopedic surgery is the medical and surgical care of bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles. A consultation starts with a careful medical assessment, and surgery is only one of the options discussed: whether it is appropriate depends on the diagnosis, the person and their goals.
Trauma & Sports Injuries
Falls, accidents and sport can injure bones, joints, ligaments and tendons. Traumatology and sports medicine focus on assessing these injuries properly, deciding what treatment they need and planning a safe return to daily life, work or sport.
Shoulder & Elbow Surgery
The shoulder and elbow are complex joints that are central to work, sport and everyday tasks such as lifting, reaching and carrying. Dr. Ahmad Dimassi holds a specialist diploma in shoulder and elbow surgery from Aix-Marseille University.
Microsurgery
Microsurgery is surgery performed under magnification on very small structures, such as fine nerves and blood vessels. Dr. Ahmad Dimassi holds a University Diploma in Microsurgery from Université Saint-Joseph (USJ).
When a medical assessment is the right first step.
After an injury
A fall, an accident or a sports injury that leaves a joint painful, swollen, unstable or hard to use deserves a medical assessment, so that injuries to bone, ligament or tendon are identified and treated appropriately.
Shoulder or elbow problems
Pain, weakness, stiffness or a feeling of instability in the shoulder or elbow that affects work, sleep, sport or everyday tasks such as lifting and reaching can be assessed to find the cause and the right treatment.
Persistent joint or bone pain
Pain that does not settle, keeps returning or limits daily life is a reason to ask for an orthopedic opinion. The assessment looks at your history, an examination and any imaging you already have.
Emergencies first: after a serious accident, or with severe pain, a visible deformity, numbness, loss of movement or an open wound, go to the nearest emergency department or call emergency services rather than waiting for a clinic appointment.
