FIFA-trained Sports Orthopedic Surgeon in Dubai
Advanced Care by the Best ACL Surgeon
Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries are among the most common and debilitating knee injuries, frequently affecting athletes and active individuals. When the ACL is torn or severely damaged, knee stability and function are compromised, making walking, running, and pivoting painful or difficult. For expert diagnosis and treatment, ACL surgery in Dubai with a leading specialist offers the best chance for full recovery and a return to an active lifestyle.
Dr. Ibrahim Haidar, recognized as one of the best ACL surgeons in Dubai, brings world-class expertise in sports injury surgery and orthopedic care. Using advanced techniques and a personalized approach, he delivers safe, effective solutions for ACL tears — including modern ACL reconstruction surgery in Dubai — designed to restore knee stability and maximize long-term outcomes.
Understanding ACL Injuries
The ACL is a key ligament that stabilizes the knee joint, preventing excessive forward movement of the shinbone and controlling rotational forces. ACL tears often occur during sudden stops, jumps, or changes in direction — typical in football, basketball, skiing, and other high-impact sports.
Symptoms of ACL injury can include:
- A loud “pop” at the moment of injury
- Intense knee pain and swelling
- Instability or “giving way” of the knee
- Limited range of motion
Without proper treatment, an ACL tear can lead to chronic instability, cartilage damage, and early arthritis. Accurate diagnosis by an expert ACL doctor in Dubai ensures you receive the best possible treatment plan, tailored to your needs.
When Is ACL Surgery Needed?
Not every ACL injury requires surgery. Non-surgical management, such as physiotherapy and activity modification, may be appropriate for partial tears or patients with lower activity demands. However, ACL reconstruction surgery Dubai is often recommended when:
- The ACL is completely torn
- The knee feels unstable during daily or athletic activities
- There are associated meniscus or cartilage injuries
- You want to return to high-level sports or physically demanding activities
Dr. Haidar evaluates each case thoroughly to determine whether surgery offers the most effective path to recovery and long-term knee health.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery Dubai
ACL reconstruction surgery in Dubai is a modern surgical procedure that replaces the torn ACL with a graft — typically taken from the patient’s own tissue or from a donor.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery
ACL injuries commonly occur during sports and sudden knee movements. Dr. Ibrahim Haidar performs advanced ACL reconstruction surgery in Dubai to restore knee stability and support a safe return to activity.
Meniscus Repair with ACL Injury
ACL tears often occur with meniscus damage. Dr. Haidar provides combined ACL and meniscus repair procedures to protect joint function, reduce pain, and prevent long-term knee degeneration.
ACL Knee Arthroscopy
ACL surgery is performed using minimally invasive knee arthroscopy. A small camera allows precise ligament reconstruction with minimal scarring, faster recovery, and improved surgical accuracy.
Post-ACL Rehabilitation & Recovery
Successful ACL surgery depends on structured rehabilitation. Dr. Haidar guides patients through personalized recovery plans to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and safely return to sports and daily activities.
