About Dr. Faizal Mohammed Ikbal (PART TIME)
Dr. Faizal Mohammed Ikbal is a Specialist in Orthopedic Surgery at Medcare Orthopaedics & Spine Hospital in Dubai, with 22 years of clinical experience. He completed his MBBS from Government Medical College in Kottayam, India, followed by an MS in Orthopaedics from Kasturba Medical College in Mangalore. He has undertaken specialist training in endoscopic spine surgery, arthroplasty (joint replacement), and arthroscopy, including fellowships from institutions in Germany and India, and advanced certification from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh.
Dr. Ikbal specializes in both minimally invasive spine procedures and joint surgery. He is skilled in keyhole spine surgery (percutaneous endoscopic lumbar discectomy), treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis, joint replacement of the hip, knee, elbow and shoulder, and arthroscopy (camera-guided surgery) of the shoulder, knee and ankle. He also manages trauma, spine infections, deformity correction, and uses advanced regenerative techniques including platelet-rich plasma (PRP) and bone marrow concentrate to support cartilage healing.
He was the first to introduce nucleoplasty (a minimally invasive disc treatment) to Kerala and has published case studies in international journals. Dr. Ikbal is known for being attentive and empathetic with patients, whether managing straightforward conditions like arthritis and sports injuries or complex spine pathology.
Special interests: minimally invasive endoscopic spine surgery, joint arthroplasty and arthroscopy, cartilage regeneration therapy, radiofrequency ablation, vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty, platelet-rich plasma and bone marrow therapies.
