Top 5 Orthopedic Surgery Specialists in Arjan 2026

When do you need an orthopedic surgery specialist?

Orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat problems of the bones, joints, ligaments and spine. People usually book a visit for one of these reasons:

• Joint pain that lasts or keeps coming back
• A fracture, or a sprain or injury after a fall or impact
• Knee or spine wear, including arthritis and disc problems
• Difficulty moving, walking or using a limb normally
• A suspected torn ligament or cartilage, such as in the knee

The services listed by the doctors on this page include casting and fracture care, joint injections with cortisone or platelet-rich plasma, knee and shoulder arthroscopy, hip and knee replacement, treatment of herniated discs, and treatment of compressed nerves. A specialist will examine you, review any scans, and then explain which options are suitable for your condition. This page does not diagnose anything, and the right option depends on your examination.

Urgent warning signs

Do not wait for a clinic appointment if you have any of these. Call 911, Jordan's emergency number, or go straight to the nearest emergency department:

• Heavy bleeding, or a bone that is visible through the skin
• A limb that is cold, pale, blue, numb or suddenly weak
• Inability to bear weight or move a limb after a serious fall or accident
• Loss of bladder or bowel control, new weakness in both legs, or severe back pain after an injury
• Chest pain or breathing difficulty after a fall

How to choose among the best orthopedic surgery specialists in Arjan

Because the ranking reflects how complete each profile is, not how good the treatment is, choose with a practical checklist:

• Match the specialty to your problem. Dr. Malik Abu Al-Nadi lists foot and ankle care and trauma work. Dr. Mazen Kurdieh lists joint replacement, ligament repair and sports injuries. Dr. Safwan Al-Bakour lists spine and joint assessment. Dr. Raed Ibrahim Al-Odat and Dr. Mutaz Saleh Abu Taha list fracture care and joint replacement.
• Check the procedure itself. If you already know you need a specific operation, make sure it appears in that doctor's published services.
• Read the qualifications and experience. Compare the boards, degrees and fellowships listed, and ask each doctor how many similar cases they handle.
• Look at the biography. Some biographies explain whether non-surgical options such as splinting, orthoses or injections are considered first.
• Check reviews with care. Approved reviews are one part of a profile's completeness score; they should not replace a conversation with the doctor.

If you have a long-term condition such as diabetes, mention it when you book. Dr. Malik Abu Al-Nadi's profile lists diabetic foot treatment and wound care, which may be relevant if you have foot problems linked to diabetes.

What to expect at the first visit

A first orthopedic visit usually includes a history of your symptoms, a physical examination, and a review of any imaging you already have. To make it productive, prepare the following:

• Your identification and insurance card
• Any X-ray, MRI or CT reports and the images themselves, if you have them
• A list of current medicines and any allergies
• Notes on when the problem started, what makes it better or worse, and what you have already tried
• Any previous surgery reports or physiotherapy records

Useful questions to ask:

• What is the most likely cause of my symptoms, and what would confirm it?
• Which tests do I need, and where will they be done?
• Which non-surgical options are worth trying first, and for how long?
• If surgery is suggested, what is the recovery time and what does it involve?
• What warning signs should make me come back sooner?

Insurance, fees and booking

Insurance lists differ a lot between these profiles. Arab Orient Insurance appears on four of the five, but other insurers appear on only one or two profiles. Do not rely on the company name alone. Ask the clinic whether your exact plan, card type and policy are accepted for a consultation and for any procedure.

The published consultation fees on these profiles are 20 JOD for Dr. Malik Abu Al-Nadi, 25 JOD for Dr. Mazen Kurdieh, and 20 JOD for Dr. Safwan Al-Bakour. Confirm the fee for the doctor you choose before your visit, including whether a follow-up or procedure costs extra.

All five profiles list the same clinic hours: Saturday to Thursday, 08:00 to 16:00. Call or message the clinic before you travel to confirm that the doctor is seeing patients on your chosen day, and ask how far in advance to book.
