A key area of his practice is minimally invasive, keyhole surgery of the hand and wrist, including procedures for ganglion excision, ligament reconstruction, and fracture fixation.

During this time, he also served as a Lecturer in Orthopaedic Surgery at Dubai Medical College.

Alongside his clinical work, Mr Zekry is actively involved in surgical education, teaching hand surgery on a variety of training programmes for candidates preparing for the FRCS (Trauma and Orthopaedics) examination. He also contributed as editor of the Hand and Wrist chapter in the textbook Concise Orthopaedic Notes for FRCS (Tr&Orth).

He has authored numerous publications in peer-reviewed medical journals and has presented his research at both national and international conferences.
