Foot & Ankle
Tendon Treatment Dubai
Tendon problems around the foot and ankle rarely announce themselves with a single injury. They build — a stiff Achilles on morning runs, pain behind the outer ankle bone on uneven ground, or a slowly flattening arch — until the tendon fails to do its job.
Achilles Tendinopathy & Rupture
From the runner's stubborn mid-portion tendinopathy to the acute rupture on the padel court. Tendinopathy is treated first and foremost with progressive loading rehabilitation; surgery is reserved for the minority that fail it. Acute ruptures are managed either functionally or surgically depending on the tear, your age and your sporting demands — a genuine decision, discussed openly.
Peroneal Tendon Disorders
The tendons behind the outer ankle bone stabilise you on uneven ground. Tears and subluxation are frequently misdiagnosed as "just another sprain" — a careful examination and MRI distinguish them, and treatment ranges from rehabilitation to tendon repair.
Tibialis Posterior Dysfunction
The main supporter of the arch. When it fails, the arch progressively flattens — and the earlier it is caught, the simpler the treatment, from orthotics and targeted strengthening in early stages to reconstructive surgery in advanced ones.
Dr. Haidar's approach
The same across all three: precise diagnosis (this is the area of the foot where misdiagnosis is most common), rehabilitation-first treatment, and surgery matched to the specific tendon problem when conservative care has genuinely been exhausted.
