Munjed Al Muderis

Associate Professor Munjed Al Muderis is a Clinical Professor at Macquarie University's Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences and a Fellow of prominent surgical societies. He specializes in orthopaedic surgery focusing on hip, knee, and trauma surgery, with expertise in hip arthroscopy for femoral-acetabular impingement and trans-femoral/trans-humeral amputations using osseointegrated prosthetics. His clinical work integrates advanced technologies like computerized navigation for knee replacements and transcutaneous osseointegration for robotic limbs.

• Affiliations: Macquarie Medical School, NeuRA (Neuroscience Research Australia - Chair 2019)
• Research Interests: Osseointegration, amputation rehabilitation, prosthetic innovation, infection control in implants
• Notable Contributions: Pioneering transcutaneous osseointegration for complex amputations and anterior hip replacement techniques

His research emphasizes prosthetic safety, long-term implant outcomes, and surgical protocols for diabetic amputees. Over 60+ publications and 3 major awards highlight his impact in advancing amputation care globally.

• Awards: Asia Game Changers Award (2018), Errol Solomon Meyers Memorial Lecture (2017), International Rotary Vocational Excellence Award (2019)
• Grants/Activities: Leadership in Osseointegration Group of Australia, collaboration on prosthetic design and infection criteria development

Current projects focus on antibiotic-loaded hydrogels, single-stage surgical protocols, and osseointegration outcomes in vascular disease patients. His work bridges surgical innovation with biomechanical engineering to improve mobility and quality of life for amputees.
