Ahmed Elsheikh

Spécialisation: Orthopedist
Espace de travail: Egypte, Caire, Elsheikh LRS Clinic
- Specialist at Elsheikh LRS Clinic: PET-CT–guided surgical planning for chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) using 18F-FDG molecular imaging to map infection margins before incision.
- Specialist at Elsheikh LRS Clinic: teaches safe limb-lengthening limits—single-stage gains of 6–7 cm for the tibia and 7–9 cm for the femur, with a 7-day latency and 1 mm/day distraction rate.
- Specialist at Elsheikh LRS Clinic: performs limb lengthening and complex deformity correction with Ilizarov ring fixators, hexapods (Taylor Spatial Frame, Ortho-SUV Frame), and internal lengthening options including motorized intramedullary nails and Lengthening Over Nail (LON).
- Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery at Benha University and Consultant Limb Reconstruction Surgeon at the clinic, with recognition including the Best Research Award at the MEPOS International Congress and the Utopia Prize.
As a specialist at Elsheikh LRS Clinic, Prof. Ahmed Elsheikh focuses on limb reconstruction, complex deformity correction, and chronic osteomyelitis. His differentiator is PET-CT–guided planning with 18F-FDG to map infection margins precisely before surgery, paired with lengthening systems such as Ilizarov, Taylor Spatial Frame, and Lengthening Over Nail (LON). He also teaches internationally accepted lengthening biology and safe distraction parameters, including a 7-day latency and 1 mm/day distraction.

Qualifications

With PET-CT–guided mapping of chronic osteomyelitis margins down to the millimeter, Prof. Ahmed Elsheikh helps surgeons preserve healthy bone while targeting infection precisely before the first incision. As a specialist at Elsheikh LRS Clinic in Cairo, he works at the intersection of limb reconstruction, complex deformity correction, and orthoplastic limb salvage for high-acuity cases. His clinical approach is built on mechanical precision and biological respect, using software simulations and diagnostic mapping to plan customized, single-stage limb-saving reconstructions.

At the clinic, the same planning philosophy supports limb lengthening and deformity correction using Ilizarov circular external fixators and computer-guided hexapods such as the Taylor Spatial Frame and Ortho-SUV Frame. When internal stability is appropriate, he also uses internal lengthening options including motorized intramedullary nails and Lengthening Over Nail (LON). For patients with severe open fractures or chronic non-healing wounds, his orthoplastic reconstruction approach combines skeletal stabilization with soft-tissue coverage.

His teaching and research activity includes international conference lectures such as SICOT Madrid 2025, MEPOS Dubai 2025, ASAMI China 2024, and EBJIS Basel 2023. He is also recognized for work translating distraction osteogenesis principles into practical surgical planning, including safe single-stage lengthening thresholds and the biology of regeneration.

Education

Clinical focus and techniques

Prof. Ahmed Elsheikh’s practice centers on limb deformity correction and limb lengthening, with a dedicated pathway for chronic bone infection planning. He uses full-length mechanical axis planning (including EOS/tele-radiography) and then selects fixation and timing strategies based on deformity complexity and bone biology.

PET-CT infection mapping (18F-FDG PET-CT) to outline osteomyelitis margins for preoperative planning.
Ilizarov ring fixator for complex multi-planar deformity correction and gradual bone transport.
Taylor Spatial Frame (TSF) and Ortho-SUV Frame hexapods with computer-guided 3D planning and strut adjustments.
Internal lengthening nails (intramedullary motorized nails) for internal stability in selected cases.
Lengthening Over Nail (LON) for lengthening with internal fixation.
LRS (lengthening reconstruction system), magnetic nails, and computerized hexapods as described in clinic materials.
Full-length standing X-rays / EOS / tele-radiography for mechanical axis and joint orientation planning.
Orthoplastic reconstruction for limb salvage, combining orthopaedic bone stabilization with plastic surgery soft-tissue coverage.

Prof. Ahmed Elsheikh consults for international patients via the clinic’s remote communication options and is active in cross-border education and collaboration. His work spans Egypt and international training environments in the UK, Switzerland, and Italy, supporting care for complex limb reconstruction and infection cases. For patients traveling from abroad, the clinic’s planning workflow is designed to align imaging, fixation strategy, and rehabilitation expectations early.
