Mr Shalaby successfully finished a PhD thesis on “Correction of Complex Foot & Ankle Deformities in Adults”, which allowed him to expand his knowledge in Foot and Ankle biomechanics, the gait cycle, the different pathologies that may affect this area and the different treatment modalities.

He was extensively involved in the surgical management of complex post-traumatic and neuromuscular deformities, neglected and recurrent congenital cases, post-burn contractures and rheumatoid foot and ankle pathologies.

In his current post, he manage the full spectrum of Foot and Ankle pathologies, including forefoot reconstruction as forefoot osteotomies, big toe joint fusion and replacement, toe deformity corrections, Morton neuroma excision, as well as Ankle, Hind & Midfoot reconstruction as subtalar and triple fusions, calcaneal osteotomies, tibialis posterior reconstruction, calcaneoplasty, planter fascia surgery, Achilles tendon surgery, ankle fusion, ankle arthroscopy and replacement, and ankle instability surgery.

He also regularly manages the rheumatoid foot, and foot and ankle tumours. Mr Shalaby masters the use of circular frames for complex foot deformities and receives tertiary referrals for these cases from across Scotland.

Mr Shalaby regularly provide medical reports on ankle and foot injuries, achilles tendon pathologies, post-operative complications, ankle and foot arthritis, avascular necrosis, amputations, ongoing foot and ankle pain.
