Mr Birender Kapoor

I have worked as a Consultant in Trauma and adult reconstructive surgery for six years. My subspecialty interests include primary and revision hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery. I have a special interest in revision for instability (dislocations) of the hip replacements and fractures around joint replacements. I am the co-founder of the Liverpool Metastatic Bone Service (LiMBS). I am a passionate proponent of aggressive treatment of cancer that spreads to the bone to allow the patients to stay mobile and pain free. I perform massive endoprosthetic replacement to reconstruct the bone loss after cancer excision.

I specialise in hip replacement surgery with cemented and cementless implants, partial and total knee replacements and revision hip surgery.

I am the current Orthopaedic Oncology lead for the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals. I was the Trauma associate clinical director for a period of two years.I am a member of Royal College of Surgeons Examination committee for the FRCS Orth.I am a board member of the New Techniques and Devices Group at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen Hospitals.

I am the co-founder of a novel service started in Liverpool to treat patients with cancer spread to FRCS Orth Edinburgh 2009 BOA, BOOS Orthopaedic Oncology lead the bone. We treat patients from the whole of the Merseyside and Cheshire region. I have been instrumental in presenting this service nationally and regionally to raise its profile. I have undertaken courses and various teaching sessions regionally to disseminate the latest methods of treatment of metastatic disease.

I have a keen interest in teaching and I do this at various levels including medical students, FY trainees, Senior Orthopaedic trainees, physiotherapists and scrub nurses. I am the course convenor for an Intramedullary nailing course for senior trainees on a yearly basis. I am invited faculty for a number of FRCS exam courses in the Merseyside and at Wrightington.
