Tibial Plateau Fracture Surgical Procedure (Arthroscopically Assisted)
Tibial Plateau Fractures are complicated injuries which have in the past required surgical measures resulting in large scars and soft tissue damage. However, after extensive review of the literature and prolonged experience with various operative techniques used to fix different types of tibial plateau fractures Professor Munjed Al Muderis has developed an Arthroscopically Assisted minimally invasive technique to fix any kind of tibial plateau fracture.
This technique utilises arthroscopic technology (key hole surgery) to visualise the fracture and secure its accurate reduction, followed by internal fixation using a pre-contoured periarticular plate via a minimally invasive (small incision) technique.
In this video, Professor Munjed Al Muderis takes you through the steps involved in this very effective Tibial Plateau Fracture operation.

Revision Total Knee Replacement
A Revision Total Knee Replacement occurs when a Total Knee Replacement (Knee Arthroplasty) is not functioning correctly due to factors such as incorrect surgical technique or excessive damage from use.
In this video, Professor Munjed Al Muderis takes you through a Revision Knee Arthroplasty.

MPFL Reconstruction for Patella Malalignment
Patella Femoral Malalignment is a very difficult condition to treat. To date there have been more than 100 different operations described to deal with this problem, however none are bulletproof. Because of this Professor Munjed Al Muderis has developed a new technique which involves reconstructing the medial patella femoral ligament using an artificial ligament. This technique demonstrates very promising results, good patient recovery and no single recurrence or dislocation so far.
In this video Professor Munjed Al Muderis takes you through the steps involved in this very effective operation.

Integral Leg Prosthesis: Stage 2 - Femoral Stem Prosthesis
The OGAP-OPL implant provides people with above-the-knee and below-the-knee amputations with a leg replacement which is designed to be as close to the human anatomy as possible. This video is Part 2 of a three part series which demonstrates each of the stages of the osseointegration surgical procedure. In this video, Professor Munjed Al Muderis inserts the femoral stem prosthesis into the patients stump.

ACL Reconstruction using LARS Ligament
Using computer animation, this video demonstrates the surgical procedure for an ACL Reconstruction using LARS ligaments.
LARS Ligaments:
LARS (Ligament Augmentation and Reconstruction System) ligaments are artificial ligaments used for the intra or extra-articular reconstruction of ruptured ligaments. LARS ligaments are used to reconstruct a torn ACL and are designed to mimic the normal anatomic ligament fibres in the knee. The intra-articular longitudinal fibres resist fatigue and allow fibroblastic growth. The extra-articular woven fibres provide strength and resistance to stretch.
LARS ligaments can be used in conjunction with suturing to the remaining section of the ruptured ligament, or as a stand-alone reconstruction.
LARS ligaments can be used to reconstruct both the anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments.
For each patient the LARS ligaments are precisely selected according to the weight and activity level of each indivdual patient.
Using LARS ligaments can reduce surgery time considerably as no additional harvesting of grafts is needed. Thus the patient can expect a faster return to full function compared with ACL reconstruction using hamstrings or patella tendon grafts. This is largely due to LARS ligaments allowing the original ligament tissues to heal in the absence of traction.
Advantages of LARS:
- Earlier return to work (depending on particular activity level and individual recovery time)
- Earlier return to competitive training
- Earlier return to full contact sports once the sense of motion and muscle strength has completely returned
- Shorter surgical procedure
Surgical Procedure
Using LARS ligaments ACL surgery can be performed using minimally invasive surgery (All-Inside ACL Reconstruction), which involves a smaller incision than the conventional ACL surgery. There are no donor site complications since there is no need to harvest hamstring tendons or patella tendons.
To place the graft in place, tunnels will be drilled precisely through the remnants of the original ACL using an arthroscopic technique. The ligament is pulled into the bony tunnels whilst it is observed through an endoscope. The LARS ligament should pass through the centre of the original ACL. Once in place the LARS ligament is covered by native tissue and fixed with two titanium screws.
The surgical time is expected to take between one and two hours.
