Bone & Limb Deformity
Correction in
Peshawar
Bow legs, knock knees, and bone deformities left over from old fractures or infections can affect gait, joint wear, and confidence over time. Dr Muhammad Inam Khan, fellowship-trained in Ilizarov deformity correction (Italy) and limb reconstruction (Russia), assesses and corrects deformity across all ages.
- A child's bowing or knock-knee looks severe or uneven
- A healed fracture left a visible angle in the bone
- Gait or joint pain has changed after an old injury
- A limb looks or measures shorter than the other
Categories of Deformity We Assess
Congenital
Present From Birth
Structural limb differences identified at or shortly after birth, assessed with a growth-aware treatment plan.
Developmental
Arising During Growth
Bow legs, knock knees, and rotational deformities that develop through childhood, some self-limiting and some requiring correction.
Post-Traumatic
Malunion After Fracture
A fracture that healed in a poor position, causing angulation, shortening, or altered joint mechanics over time.
Post-Infection
Growth Disturbance From Infection
When to Seek Specialist Care in Peshawar
🔴 Seek specialist review promptly if:
- Joint pain is affecting sleep or daily function
- You are taking pain medication daily for more than 2 weeks
- One knee or hip appears deformed or has changed shape
- You have unexplained joint swelling alongside systemic symptoms (fever, weight loss)
- Stiffness lasts more than one hour in the morning — this may indicate inflammatory arthritis rather than OA
🟢 Early review is valuable if:
- You have a family history of joint replacement
- You had a previous knee injury — ACL, meniscal, or fracture
- You are overweight and your knees ache after activity
- You want to understand your joint health and what you can do now to slow progression
- You are a manual worker or farmer who wants to protect your joints long-term
Risk Factors for Degenerative Joint Disease in Pakistan
Understanding why joint degeneration develops helps patients take preventive action and understand their own risk. Several factors are particularly prevalent in the KPK population.
⚖️ Excess Body Weight
🧓 Advancing Age
🪑 Floor-Level Activities

Why Choose OAIC for Fracture &
Trauma Treatment in Peshawar
🏥 High-Volume Trauma Background
Dr Inam spent four years as Senior Registrar at Hayatabad Medical Complex, one of KPK’s busiest trauma centres — building direct, hands-on experience managing the full range of orthopaedic trauma presentations.
🎓 FRCS & MRCS Edinburgh
Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons (UK) and MRCS from Edinburgh reflect internationally recognised surgical training standards — qualifications held by very few orthopaedic surgeons in KPK.
⚽ Sports Medicine Fellowship
Dedicated Fellowship in Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Orthobiologics in Greece means sports-related fractures and soft tissue injuries are managed with subspecialty-level expertise.
🧬 PRP & Orthobiologics
OAIC uses evidence-based orthobiologic treatments — including platelet-rich plasma — to accelerate recovery from muscle injuries, ligament damage, and stress fractures non-surgically.
🏛️ Hospital Access
The fracture extends into a joint surface. Precise anatomical realignment is essential to prevent post-traumatic arthritis; usually needs surgery.
📍 Convenient for KPK Patients
Three locations — Akbar Medical Centre Peshawar, Haleem Medical Centre Charsadda, and LRH Peshawar — mean patients from across the province do not have to travel to major cities for specialist fracture care.
Sports Injury Treatment in Peshawar
Sports and physical activity injuries require specialist assessment — the same pain can mean a simple sprain or a complete structural tear that needs surgery. Dr Inam’s Fellowship in Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Orthobiologics (Greece) provides specific expertise in this area.

Frequently Asked Questions
Who is the best fracture specialist in Peshawar?
Dr Muhammad Inam Khan at OAIC is one of Peshawar’s most experienced fracture and trauma specialists. He holds FCPS, FRCS UK, and MRCS from Edinburgh, and spent four years as Senior Registrar at Hayatabad Medical Complex managing high-volume orthopaedic trauma. He sees patients at Akbar Medical Centre, Peshawar, Monday to Friday from 4:00 PM.
How is a bone fracture treated in Peshawar?
Fracture treatment at OAIC begins with a clinical examination and X-ray to confirm the fracture type and stability. Simple, undisplaced fractures are treated with a cast or splint. Displaced, unstable, or joint-surface fractures require surgical fixation using plates, screws, nails, or external fixators. Dr Inam explains the treatment plan and all options clearly before proceeding.
When does a fracture need surgery?
Surgery is needed when: the bone is displaced and cannot be held in position with a cast; the fracture involves a joint surface; the fracture is open (bone through skin); there are associated nerve or blood vessel injuries; or the fracture is in a location (such as the femoral neck) where non-surgical management has poor outcomes. Not all fractures need surgery — Dr Inam will explain specifically whether yours does and why.
What sports injuries does OAIC treat in Peshawar?
OAIC treats ACL and ligament tears, meniscal injuries, muscle and tendon ruptures, shoulder dislocations, stress fractures, and cartilage damage. Dr Inam completed a Fellowship in Arthroscopy, Sports Medicine, and Orthobiologics in Greece — providing specific expertise in minimally invasive and biological treatments for sports injuries alongside conventional surgical approaches.
How long does it take for a broken bone to heal?
Healing time depends on the bone, fracture type, patient age, and general health. Simple fractures in younger adults may heal in 4–6 weeks. Complex or large-bone fractures can take 3–6 months to fully consolidate. Surgical fixation often allows earlier mobilisation. Dr Inam provides each patient with a specific recovery timeline and monitors progress with follow-up imaging.
Can muscle injuries be treated without surgery in KPK?
Grade 1 and Grade 2 muscle strains (partial tears) are typically managed non-surgically with physiotherapy, rest, and PRP orthobiologics where appropriate. Grade 3 complete muscle or tendon ruptures usually require surgical repair to restore function — and early treatment gives better outcomes than delayed surgery. An MRI is used to grade the injury accurately and guide the correct management pathway.
