Specialty Focus
Dr. Firoz Ahmed provides consultation in:
- Orthopedics (Bone & Joint)
- Trauma Surgery
- Spine Surgery
Orthopedics (Bone & Joint)
Dr. Firoz Ahmed evaluates common and complex bone-and-joint complaints such as persistent knee, hip, shoulder, elbow, wrist, and ankle pain, stiffness, swelling, movement restriction, and injury-related problems. Consultation typically focuses on confirming the source of pain (joint vs. tendon vs. referred pain), selecting appropriate imaging only when needed, and building a practical plan that may include medicines, lifestyle guidance, physiotherapy, and follow-up monitoring.
Trauma Surgery
In trauma-related conditions, Dr. Firoz Ahmed assesses injuries after falls, sports incidents, and road-traffic accidents—such as fractures, dislocations, and soft-tissue injuries. The goal is to ensure timely stabilization, protect nerves and blood supply, and guide patients on immobilization, safe movement, and the next steps (including referral for operative fixation when a fracture is unstable).
Spine Surgery
For spine concerns, Dr. Firoz Ahmed consults on neck pain, low back pain, sciatica, numbness/tingling, and suspected disc or stenosis-related symptoms. Consultation emphasizes identifying red flags, understanding whether symptoms are nerve-related, and planning conservative care (posture and core-strengthening rehabilitation) or surgical evaluation when symptoms are severe, persistent, or progressive.
With 10+ years of experience, Dr. Firoz Ahmed supports patients dealing with acute injuries, chronic pain, degenerative conditions, and movement limitations—aiming for reliable pain relief and long-term improvement in mobility and daily function.
Workplace
- Khulna Medical College & Hospital — Consultant (Orthopedics)
Patients often prefer a consultant actively engaged in a major public teaching hospital, where complex trauma and orthopedic cases are routinely evaluated.
Conditions Treated
Orthopedic and spine symptoms often overlap. Back pain can radiate to the leg; shoulder pain can be tendon-related or referred from the neck; and fractures can involve surrounding ligaments, nerves, and soft tissues.
Common reasons patients consult Dr. Firoz Ahmed include (final diagnosis depends on clinical assessment and investigations):
Bone & Joint Conditions
- Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, and spine-related degeneration)
- Inflammatory joint pain (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis suspicion; co-management when needed)
- Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis)
- Rotator cuff tendinopathy / tear suspicion
- Tennis elbow / golfer’s elbow
- Wrist and hand pain (sprains, tendon inflammation, carpal tunnel suspicion)
- Hip pain (bursitis, degenerative changes, referred pain)
- Knee pain (meniscus or ligament injury suspicion)
- Ankle sprain and foot pain
Trauma & Injury-Related Problems
- Fractures (upper and lower limb)
- Dislocations and joint instability
- Soft tissue injuries (ligaments and tendons)
- Workplace and sports injuries
Spine & Nerve-Related Problems
- Neck pain (cervical spondylosis)
- Low back pain
- Sciatica / radiating leg pain
- Disc prolapse suspicion
- Spinal stenosis suspicion (leg pain/heaviness with walking, relieved by rest/leaning forward; patient overview: NHS Inform on spinal stenosis)
- Numbness, tingling, weakness related to nerve compression (urgent if progressive)
Pediatric & Adolescent Orthopedic Concerns (as appropriate)
- Growth-related pains and posture concerns
- Sports injuries in adolescents
Red flags: After a fall or accident, severe pain, visible deformity, open wounds, inability to bear weight, new weakness, loss of bladder/bowel control, fever with back pain, or increasing numbness should be assessed urgently.
Procedures and Treatment Options
Treatment recommendations vary by diagnosis, severity, and patient preference. Orthopedic and spine care commonly follows a stepwise plan—conservative measures first when safe, then procedural or surgical options when indicated.
Non-Surgical / Conservative Care
- Pain and inflammation management plans
- Activity modification and ergonomic guidance
- Physiotherapy / rehabilitation planning (background context: Frontiers in Public Health on physiotherapy in Bangladesh)
- Bracing/support advice where appropriate
- Injection-based therapies may be considered in selected cases (clinical judgment)
Injury/Fracture Management (When Indicated)
- Fracture assessment and immobilization (cast/splint)
- Referral and planning for operative fracture fixation when unstable
- Patient education on stabilization methods such as internal fixation (plates/screws/nails): AAOS OrthoInfo on internal fixation for fractures
Spine-Related Interventions (When Indicated)
- Evaluation for disc-related pain, nerve root irritation, and stenosis
- Rehabilitation-focused plans (posture, core strengthening, safe lifting)
- Surgical evaluation for decompression when conservative care fails and symptoms are significant (general overview: NHS on why lumbar decompression surgery is done)
The links above are for general patient education. A personal treatment plan should be decided after clinical evaluation.
Clinical Approach: What Patients Can Expect
Clear diagnosis before treatment
Orthopedic pain can be misleading—knee pain can be referred from the back; shoulder pain may be linked to the neck; and leg pain can be nerve-related rather than muscle strain. Dr. Firoz Ahmed prioritizes clinical examination and appropriate tests so treatment targets the true cause.
Conservative-first when safe
For many conditions—non-complicated back pain, early osteoarthritis, tendon inflammation—structured conservative care can provide meaningful relief. International guidance discusses careful assessment and multimodal management for low back pain and sciatica, including the NICE guideline NG59.
Function and mobility as the goal
The aim is not only pain reduction, but also better movement, safer daily activity, and long-term relapse prevention.
Shared decision-making
Dr. Firoz Ahmed explains options (benefits, risks, recovery timelines, expected outcomes) so patients can make informed choices aligned with their needs.

Dr. Firoz Ahmed provides consultation as an Orthopedic (Bone & Joint) specialist with practice focus in trauma and spine-related problems. Patients commonly consult for joint pain, injury-related pain, fracture follow‑up, back/neck pain, and nerve-related symptoms.
What is Dr. Firoz Ahmed’s qualification?
MBBS, BCS (Health), D-Ortho (BSMMU).
Is Dr. Firoz Ahmed BM&DC registered?
Yes — BM&DC Registration: A-79405. Patients can verify via the official BM&DC verification portal (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
Where does Dr. Firoz Ahmed work?
He is affiliated as a Consultant (Orthopedics) with Khulna Medical College & Hospital.
When should I see an orthopedic doctor for knee pain?
Consider an orthopedic evaluation if knee pain lasts more than 2–3 weeks, or if you have swelling, locking, giving-way/instability, trauma history, or pain that limits walking, stairs, or sleep. Early evaluation is especially helpful after sports injuries and for older adults with suspected arthritis, because a timely plan (rehab, lifestyle, medicines, and targeted tests) can prevent worsening.
What are common reasons for shoulder pain?
Shoulder pain may be due to tendon inflammation, rotator cuff problems, frozen shoulder, arthritis, or sometimes neck-related nerve irritation. The shoulder and neck can “refer” pain to each other, so a structured clinical exam is important before deciding on imaging or physiotherapy.
Can osteoarthritis be treated without surgery?
Often, yes. Many patients improve with a plan including physiotherapy, weight management, activity modification, strengthening exercises, and symptom-control medicines. Osteoarthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions are major causes of disability worldwide per the WHO musculoskeletal conditions fact sheet (Accessed 11 Feb 2026). Surgery is considered when pain and functional limitation remain significant despite adequate conservative care.
I have joint pain and morning stiffness—could it be inflammatory arthritis?
It could be. Clues include morning stiffness lasting >30–60 minutes, swelling of multiple joints, and sometimes fatigue or systemic symptoms. Because inflammatory arthritis needs early diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning, consultation is recommended rather than self-medicating long-term.
After a fall, how do I know if it’s a fracture?
Possible fracture signs include severe pain, swelling, bruising, deformity, inability to move or bear weight, or pain that sharply worsens with touch. If there is an open wound, significant deformity, numbness, or increasing swelling, urgent assessment is important to prevent complications.
What is “internal fixation” for fractures?
Internal fixation is a surgical method that uses plates, screws, rods, or nails to stabilize an unstable fracture so it can heal in the correct position. Patient-friendly overview: AAOS OrthoInfo on internal fixation for fractures (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
Should I get an X-ray or MRI for injury pain?
It depends on your symptoms and exam findings:
- X-ray is usually the first test for suspected fractures and certain joint problems.
- MRI is often useful when the concern is ligament/meniscus injury, tendon tears, or spine disc/nerve issues.
Your doctor will recommend the most appropriate test to avoid unnecessary imaging.
What is sciatica?
Sciatica is radiating pain down the leg, often with tingling or numbness, commonly linked to irritation/compression of nerve roots in the lower back. Not all radiating leg pain is sciatica, so clinical evaluation helps identify whether the cause is disc-related, muscle-related, or due to other conditions.
When is back pain considered serious?
Seek urgent assessment if you have new or worsening weakness, rapidly spreading numbness, fever with back pain, major trauma, unexplained weight loss, or bladder/bowel control changes. These can be “red flags” that require prompt medical attention.
What is spinal stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is narrowing of the spinal canal which may cause leg pain/heaviness with walking and relief with rest or leaning forward. Overview: NHS Inform overview of spinal stenosis (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
Do all disc problems require surgery?
No. Many disc-related symptoms improve with time, guided physiotherapy, posture and core strengthening, and appropriate medications. Surgery is considered when there is persistent disabling pain, progressive neurological deficit, or certain structural problems after evaluation.
Guideline background: NICE guideline NG59 on low back pain and sciatica (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
When is lumbar decompression surgery considered?
It may be considered when symptoms from nerve compression/stenosis remain severe despite conservative care, or when there are specific neurological indications. NHS overview: NHS guidance on why lumbar decompression surgery is done (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
What happens in an orthopedic/spine consultation?
A typical visit includes symptom history (onset, triggers, injury, job activities), targeted physical examination (movement, joint stability, strength, nerve tests), and review of existing reports. Then you receive a step-by-step plan—home guidance, medicines if needed, physiotherapy/rehab directions, recommended investigations (only if necessary), and follow-up scheduling.
Why is physiotherapy often recommended?
Rehabilitation helps improve strength, flexibility, posture, balance, and safe movement patterns. For many spine and joint problems, physiotherapy is a core part of long-term recovery and relapse prevention.
How many follow-ups do I need?
It varies by condition. Acute injuries may need short-interval review to monitor swelling, pain control, and healing, while chronic conditions may need periodic follow-up to adjust rehab and medications. If you’re advised a follow‑up date, keeping it helps avoid delayed recovery.
Who should I consult—orthopedics or neurosurgery—for spine pain?
Many spine problems can start with an orthopedics evaluation. If there are complex nerve/spinal cord issues or a condition requiring neurosurgical opinion, your care pathway can be guided accordingly. Helpful directory page: Neurosurgery specialists in Khulna (BHA) (Accessed 11 Feb 2026).
