Dr. Al Muderis has formal training in Europe on the anterior approach total hip replacement which is gaining significant popularity worldwide. He also has special interest in ACL reconstruction using anatomy preserving technology and total knee replacement using computerised navigation technology.

Dr. Al Muderis is one of a handful of surgeons world-wide who has a special expertise in trans-femoral and trans-humeral amputations. We are able to provide our patients with robotic artificial limbs using transcutaneous osseointegrated technology. This is designed to be as close to the human anatomy as possible. To this end we established a monthly osseointegration clinic at the Macquarie University Hospital.

He is associated with Specialty Orthopaedics, a group of specialists who operate out of The Sydney Adventist, Norwest Private and Macquarie University Hospitals with consulting rooms at Parramatta, Bella Vista, Macquarie University and Wahroonga.

  • Trauma fellowship at the Unfallkrankenhaus Berlin, Germany.
  • Robotic leg surgery post-specialisation training with Dr. Horst Aschoff – Lubeck, Germany.
