Osseointegration
Al Muderis developed a new generation of implant, osseointegration prosthetic limb (OPL), which addresses some of the problems previously encountered by patients.

Women's Weekly and NEWS Al Muderis ranking as one of the world's best oseointegrasi surgeons.
The traditional and rigid socket technology is now being replaced by an operation that incorporates a titanium implant into the bone. Osseoperception occurs when the prosthetic is anchored directly to the bone that will transmit the sensory signal, which results in the patient restoring a certain level of feeling. The implant surface is also made of highly porous titanium, providing the user with a balance and allows for bone growth. The double adapter is designed with a smooth surface to minimize friction and coated with niobium titanium for antibacterial purposes. The adapter is attached to the control device and connected to the outside of the limbs of the prosthetic. Wearing and removing branches can be done in less than ten seconds. Osseointegration operations aim to provide amputations with greater mobility and reduce discomfort.
Al Muderis spread the word to make the technology available globally. Patients travel from around the world to see it for this breakthrough operation.
