Dr. Mohamed Irfan Rehman | Orthopedics (Bone, Joint Trauma Care)

Dr. Irfan Rehman is an orthopedic specialist with around eight years of work experience in orthopedics and traumatology, special interest in knee and shoulder arthroscopy and nanoscopy. His fascination with science, especially biology and physics, led me to medical school at Aligarh Muslim University. His desire to further his understanding of human mechanics led me to opt for a Master's in Orthopaedic Surgery from the Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal, Manipur.

 After completing his masters in May 2014, he worked as a senior resident in the government and the private sector in India for more than four years. While doing his senior residency, which provided a sturdy roof atop the foundation and framework already constructed during his previous medical school and college endeavors, Dr. Irfan cleared MRCS Part A from the Royal College of Surgeons, England. In addition, I published 16 papers in international peer-reviewed journals, including articles on shoulder and elbow dislocation, Potts spine, sclerosing osteomyelitis of Garre, tibial tuberosity fracture, os trigonum, and plantar fasciitis.

 After that, He joined MOH Saudi Arabia as an orthopedic specialist and worked for three years at a tertiary care center. Apart from enhancing his knowledge and skill in various domains of orthopedic surgery like arthroscopy, arthroplasty, trauma, Spine, and Pediatric orthopedics, it instilled confidence in me to diagnose and treat various disorders and diseases of the musculoskeletal system independently from a medico-legal perspective.

Moreover, he acquired conversational proficiency in Arabic.

•  MOTTO: To offer life-altering changes to patients in need of restored form, function, and quality of life.
•  MOST MEMORABLE MOMENT: While I was doing his senior residency at Government Medical College in Uttarakhand, a 13 years old girl was brought to ER after sustaining multiple fractures in her upper and lower limbs with a dislocated left hip. A resident of hilly areas in the northern Indian state of Uttarakhand, which the mighty Himalayas crosses, she had stumbled from a hill while collecting firewood for cooking.  She was brought to the accident and emergency (A&E) department after some 8 hours of journey and was in profound shock at the presentation. While the anesthesia and surgical team were doing initial resuscitation, I reduced her left hip and splinted fractures in both her forearms and right leg. Early morning, osteosynthesis for fractures was done, and hip joint stability was assessed under an image intensifier. With their hip being stable and no concomitant acetabular fracture, she was discharged after 48 hours of postoperative stay. She returned for follow-up after one week, happier and healthier, and unrecognizable. And that silent smile she gave us without saying a word was worth a thousand words. Even to this day, I remember her when I am down and have self-doubt. This is why I do what I do!
•  MOST CHALLENGING MOMENT: (Successfully organizing health camp for Knee and hip replacement surgeries.)
