How we chose this list

Every matching doctor profile in this area was scored out of 100 for how complete and checkable its published information is, and the highest scores appear here in order. Featured placement does not change a profile's score, and the score does not measure treatment quality or outcomes — it tells you how much you can check before you call.

  • Profile verified by the platform15
  • Approved reviews (number and average)20
  • Published years of experience (up to 25)15
  • Published qualifications10
  • Written professional biography8
  • Profile photo5

Ties are broken by the number of approved reviews, then published years of experience. Confirm the service, branch, appointment, fees and insurance coverage with the practice before visiting.

When do you need an arthroscopy and sports injuries specialist?

Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery. The surgeon inserts a small camera and fine instruments into a joint through a few small cuts. It is used most often in the knee and shoulder, and sometimes in the elbow, hip or ankle. Common reasons include:

  • meniscus (cartilage) tears in the knee
  • anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries
  • kneecap instability
  • repeated shoulder dislocation
  • rotator cuff tears

Many sports injuries settle with relative rest, a guided physiotherapy programme and time. A specialist visit does not automatically mean an operation. Mainstream guidance treats surgery as one option among several, depending on the injury, your age, your activity level and how the joint responds to rehabilitation.

Consider booking an orthopaedic visit if you have:

  • a knee that swelled quickly after a twist or landing, especially if you felt or heard a pop
  • a knee that locks, catches or gives way
  • a shoulder that has dislocated or feels as if it slips out
  • weakness or pain when lifting your arm, or shoulder pain that wakes you at night
  • joint pain that has not improved after a few weeks of sensible rest, or that keeps you from returning to sport

Warning signs that need urgent care

Call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department if any of these occur:

  • an obvious deformity, or bone visible through the skin
  • you cannot put any weight on the leg at all
  • a limb that becomes numb, cold or pale
  • a hot, red, very swollen joint with fever
  • after a head knock in sport: confusion, repeated vomiting or loss of consciousness

After any joint surgery, seek urgent help for:

  • calf pain or swelling
  • chest pain or sudden breathlessness
  • a wound that becomes increasingly red, hot or leaks pus, especially with fever

How to choose among the doctors here

All eight surgeons are orthopaedic specialists who list arthroscopy and sports injuries. Their published services and schedules differ, so match the profile to your problem.

  • Match the joint. Some profiles describe a knee-centred scope. Dr. Ziad S. Dahabreh, for example, lists ACL and patellofemoral reconstruction and lower-limb realignment. Shoulder problems appear in several profiles: Dr. Wael Al Haddad lists rotator cuff repair and shoulder instability care, and Dr. Saher Al-Dabba and Dr. Abdallah Masadeh list shoulder arthroscopy. Dr. Ahmad Mohammad Abu Mahfouth lists elbow arthroscopy.
  • Read the qualifications yourself. Each entry shows the boards, degrees and fellowships the doctor has published. Ask at the clinic if you want to know how often a specific procedure is performed.
  • Ask about rehabilitation. Recovery after ligament or meniscus surgery depends heavily on physiotherapy. Ask how follow-up and rehabilitation are organised. Dr. Al Haddad's profile, for instance, lists postoperative rehabilitation follow-up.
  • Check the schedule. Dr. Masadeh's published attendance is Saturday only, and Dr. Dahabreh's hours start on Sunday. Most clinics close earlier on Thursday, though Dr. Abu Mahfouth's hours run to 16:30 that day.
  • Language. Dr. Mohammed Omar Tabaza lists Arabic, English and Italian. If you need another language, ask the clinic before booking.
  • Get a second opinion before elective surgery. This is reasonable and common, particularly for ACL reconstruction or meniscus surgery.

If you searched for the best arthroscopy and sports injuries specialists in Amman, remember that the order here reflects profile completeness only. The right choice is the surgeon whose scope, location and hours fit your injury and your plans.

What to expect at the first visit

The surgeon will ask how the injury happened and examine the joint. This usually includes stability and movement tests, and sometimes a request for imaging such as an X-ray or MRI.

Before you go:

  • Write down when and how the injury happened, which sport you play and at what level, and any earlier injuries to the same joint.
  • Bring any X-ray or MRI reports and images, physiotherapy notes and a list of your current medicines.
  • Wear loose clothing that lets the doctor see the joint: shorts for a knee problem, a loose top for a shoulder.

Questions worth asking:

  • What is the likely diagnosis, and do I need imaging to confirm it?
  • What non-surgical options exist, and how long should I try them?
  • If arthroscopy is suggested, what exactly would be done inside the joint?
  • What are the risks, and what does recovery and rehabilitation involve?
  • When could I realistically return to training and competition?
  • Where would the procedure take place, and who handles follow-up?

Insurance, fees and booking: what to ask before the appointment

Each entry shows the insurers the doctor has listed. Arab Orient Insurance appears on all eight profiles. The profiles of Dr. Tabaza, Dr. Al-Dabba and Dr. Masadeh each list a wider range.

A listed insurer does not guarantee that your specific plan is covered. When you call, ask:

  • Is my plan and network accepted for consultations at this clinic?
  • What is the consultation fee, and are imaging, injections or follow-up visits charged separately?
  • Does my insurer need pre-approval for an MRI, arthroscopy or physiotherapy?
  • If surgery is needed, at which facility would it be done, and is that facility within my network?
  • For Dr. Masadeh at JoSante, is he attending on the Saturday I plan to come? For Dr. Tabaza, which room and floor should I go to?

Getting there

Amman is large, and traffic at peak times can add a lot to a short trip, so allow extra time, especially if you are limping or in a brace. Two of the listed clinics are in Shmeisani and one is at 7th Circle. The others are in different parts of central and east Amman, so check the address on each profile before you set out.

If you are coming from Khalda, Dabouq, Tla' Al-Ali, Sweifieh, Abdoun, Jubeiha or the Gardens area, plan your route and parking ahead. Bring a companion to drive if your knee or shoulder makes driving unsafe. Many patients are advised not to drive for a period after joint surgery, so arrange transport for the procedure day as well.

Checklist before you book

  • I know which joint and which symptoms I want assessed.
  • I have checked that the doctor's published services cover my problem: knee, shoulder or elbow.
  • I have my X-ray or MRI reports and images, physiotherapy notes and medicine list ready.
  • I have confirmed the clinic's hours, including Saturday or Thursday availability.
  • I have asked whether my insurance plan is accepted and whether pre-approval is needed.
  • I have asked for the consultation fee and any separate charges.
  • I have prepared my questions about non-surgical options, recovery and return to sport.
  • I know the warning signs that mean I should call 911 instead of waiting for an appointment.

Frequently asked questions

How was this list of arthroscopy and sports injuries specialists in Amman chosen?
ClinicsJo has 14 profiles in this scope. These eight are ordered by a 100-point score of how complete and checkable their published information is: qualifications, biography, services, insurers, hours, photo, map location and similar items. Featured placement does not change a score. The order does not measure treatment quality or outcomes, so it is not a ranking of the best arthroscopy and sports injuries specialists in Amman.
Do I always need surgery for a torn meniscus or ACL?
No. Many meniscus tears, especially degenerative ones, improve with physiotherapy and activity changes. Some people with ACL injuries manage well with structured rehabilitation, particularly if they do not play pivoting sports. Surgery is more often discussed when the knee locks, keeps giving way, or when you want to return to demanding sport. An orthopaedic surgeon can explain which options apply after examining you.
What is recovery like after knee arthroscopy?
It varies with what is done inside the joint. A simple procedure may allow walking within days, with a gradual return to activity over weeks. Ligament reconstruction or meniscus repair usually involves a longer, staged rehabilitation programme, often many months before full sport. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will set a plan for your case. Follow their instructions on weight-bearing, wound care and exercises.
Which of these doctors list shoulder injury services?
Dr. Wael Al Haddad lists shoulder arthroscopy, rotator cuff repair and shoulder instability and dislocation care. Dr. Saher Al-Dabba and Dr. Abdallah Masadeh list shoulder arthroscopy, and Dr. Mohammed Omar Tabaza lists shoulder dislocation treatment. Dr. Mohammad Jamal Al-Humaidi lists knee and shoulder injections. Check each profile's full service list and confirm with the clinic that your specific problem is seen.
Can I see a sports injury specialist in Amman on a Saturday?
Yes. Several listed clinics publish Saturday hours, including those of Dr. Tabaza, Dr. Al-Dabba, Dr. Al Haddad, Dr. Amer, Dr. Abu Mahfouth and Dr. Al-Humaidi. Dr. Masadeh's published attendance at JoSante, 7th Circle, is Saturday only. Dr. Dahabreh's hours start on Sunday. Always confirm before travelling, as schedules can change.
Should I get an MRI before my first appointment?
Not necessarily. Many specialists prefer to examine the joint first and then decide whether imaging is needed and which type. If you already have X-ray or MRI images or reports, bring them. Check with your insurer, because some plans require pre-approval for an MRI and may expect a specialist's request.
When should a sports injury go to the emergency department instead of a clinic?
Go to emergency or call 911 if you see an obvious deformity or exposed bone, cannot bear any weight, or the limb turns numb, cold or pale. The same applies to a hot, swollen joint with fever, or confusion and vomiting after a head knock. After surgery, calf swelling, chest pain or sudden breathlessness also need urgent care.
