Bone and joint problems are common across every age group. If you have recurring or troubling pain, you need a proper clinical assessment with a specialist rather than waiting — because delaying care for orthopedic problems can make movement harder and treatment more complicated later.
This guide explains the common orthopedic conditions, what the Orthopedics Department at Town Hospital in New Cairo offers, and when you should see an orthopedic doctor.
Common orthopedic conditions
Fractures and sprains
Fractures of the upper and lower limbs, pelvic fractures and spinal fractures are stabilised and treated according to the type and site of the injury, alongside sprains and ligament injuries.
Sports injuries, joint and fracture care
- Diagnosis and treatment of cruciate ligament injuries, knee and shoulder cartilage injuries, and arthroscopy of the shoulder, knee and other joints
- Joint replacement surgery, including hip and shoulder replacement
- Arthroscopic treatment of knee cartilage injuries, with physiotherapy where movement needs to be restored
- Treatment of ligament tears, tendon pain and tendon inflammation, with the doctor determining the most appropriate approach
Hand surgery
- Microsurgery for tendon injuries, hand fractures and re-implantation of injuries
- Brachial plexus surgery
- Foot and ankle surgery, including correction of foot deformities and repair of tendons or ligaments
Spine surgery
Stabilisation of spinal fractures, endoscopic removal of a spinal disc, and decompression of the spinal canal — alongside management of benign bone tumours and bone cancers within an integrated oncology pathway.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Orthopedics Department at Town Hospital treat?
Bone, joint and spine problems — from fractures, sports injuries and cartilage damage to joint wear and chronic back and neck pain.
When should I see an orthopedic doctor?
If pain persists beyond two weeks despite rest, radiates into your limbs, comes with numbness, weakness or swelling, or prevents your normal movement.
Does every orthopedic case need surgery?
No. Most cases improve with conservative treatment, physiotherapy and posture correction. Surgery remains the last option rather than the first, and the doctor decides after assessment.
Is X-ray and MRI imaging available inside the hospital?
Yes — diagnosis happens in-house, from the clinical examination to X-ray and MRI when needed, which shortens the time to a diagnosis.
