Professor Mohamed Ben Saleh is an orthopaedic surgeon and university hospital faculty member at Charles Nicolle Hospital in Tunis. The Tunisian Ministry of Health's September 2025 hospital-service appointment officially assigned him as Head of the Orthopaedic Surgery Department at Charles Nicolle Hospital, with the grade of Maître de conférences agrégé hospitalo-universitaire en médecine.

Orthopaedic surgery focuses on the diagnosis and surgical management of disorders affecting bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and other components of the musculoskeletal system. Depending on the clinical problem, orthopaedic care can involve assessment of injuries, degenerative joint disease, structural abnormalities, fractures, and other musculoskeletal conditions.

As Head of the Orthopaedic Surgery Department, Professor Ben Saleh holds a documented leadership position within a major university hospital. His role is therefore connected with specialist orthopaedic services, hospital-based clinical care, and the academic environment of the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis.

Orthopaedic surgery frequently involves multidisciplinary cooperation. Depending on the condition, patients may require collaboration between orthopaedic surgeons, radiologists, anaesthesiologists, physiotherapists, rehabilitation specialists, emergency physicians, and other medical teams. This approach is particularly relevant for complex injuries and conditions requiring surgery followed by rehabilitation.

Charles Nicolle Hospital provides a broad range of medical and surgical services and is affiliated with the Faculty of Medicine of Tunis. Its university-hospital structure supports clinical care together with teaching and research.

Patients considering orthopaedic treatment should undergo a detailed clinical evaluation before treatment planning. Imaging such as X-rays, CT, MRI, or other diagnostic investigations may be appropriate depending on the suspected condition. The choice of conservative management, rehabilitation, injections, or surgery should be individualized according to the diagnosis and patient's overall health.

For international patients, medical records and previous imaging can help the treating team understand the clinical history before an in-person assessment. Patients should also discuss expected recovery time, rehabilitation requirements, potential risks, and follow-up arrangements directly with their treating orthopaedic team.

Professor Ben Saleh's appointment as Head of Orthopaedic Surgery provides a current, documented basis for including him among featured doctors at Charles Nicolle Hospital. The appointment was published in the Tunisian Journal Officiel through the September 2025 Ministry of Health order.
