into managing joint problems and the latest treatment methods. Dr. Makhdom is

replacements, adult and pediatric trauma surgery, knee arthroscopy for meniscus
injuries or cruciate ligament reconstruction, bow legs and knocked knee correction,
leg limb discrepancy correction, reconstruction surgery for complex bone
