PRESS RELEASE: Professor Al Muderis and Osseointegration International support veterinary orthopaedic surgeons in treating companion animals

Latest Press Release

Professor Munjed Al Muderis and Osseointegration International, renowned for their expertise in Osseointegration surgery for humans, have helped extend this groundbreaking treatment to companion animals, offering hope for improved outcomes in veterinary orthopaedics.
Osseointegration, a revolutionary approach addressing challenges like ill-fitting sockets and persistent pain in amputees, has been a pioneering method used mostly for human patients. However, recognizing the increasing demand for enhanced outcomes in companion animals care, in recent years there’s been a shift toward extending this innovative technique to four-legged patients.
Starting with the German shepperd Alithia, Professor Al Muderis and Osseointegration International have collaborated closely with respected veterinary specialists Dr. Dan James and Dr. Andrew Levien to introduce Osseointegration’s technology benefits to a cohort of animal patients in the Sydney area. Notably, the initial surgical procedures, including the one featured on the popular TV show ‘Bondi Vet’, served as a testament to the potential of this groundbreaking approach in veterinary medicine.
In this nascent field within the Osseointegration technique, careful monitoring and follow-up assessments have shown promising short-term results among the animal patients. Detailed analyses revealed these animals’ newfound ability to confidently bear weight on their reconstructed limbs, demonstrating an even distribution of load while walking—a significant stride in veterinary orthopaedics.
Osseointegration International’s pioneering efforts bridge the gap between human and animal medicine, brings forth a new era of possibilities for both spheres.
These encouraging outcomes underline not only the remarkable progress within veterinary orthopaedics but also the transformative potential of Osseointegration in reshaping amputee care on a global scale.

About Osseointegration International

Osseointegration International designs and markets the Osseointegration Prosthetic Limb System (OPL). The OPL system is made up of multiple components. The core implant is made of high-tensile strength titanium with a highly porous titanium coating, providing both initial stability as well as long-term bone integration (in-growth). The unique properties of the titanium coating allow the bone to grow into the surface of the prosthesis, which makes the bone-implant structure one solid unit.
