Prof Mahmoud has professional expertise in microscopic repair of the peripheral nerves, nerve grafting and transfers as well as brachial plexus injuries in children and adults. He is best known for his most advanced arthroscopic and microscopic techniques and latest modalities of percutaneous techniques in healing wrist injuries including scaphoid, carpal bones, distal radius fractures, intercarpal ligaments and TFCC tears. He is also an expert in the treatment of patients with hand tumors. Treatment usually includes excising tumors and using surgical magnification and microsurgical techniques to ensure complete eradication and functional protection as well as reduce the risk of recurrence. His practice equally focuses on the treatment of the comminuted fractures of the upper limb using the advanced anatomical plates and screws that have the best biomechanics properties. He performs all procedures for elbow and shoulder to repair injuries such as the TFCC, SLL, elbow ligaments, biceps tendon, rotators cuff.

Professor Mahmoud is devoted to the treatment of birth injuries that affect the nerves (brachial plexus birth injury), babies born with deformities, defects (congenital hand anomalies and Arthrogryposis) and sequelae of brain insult (CP) that affect upper limbs.
