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 specialise in hip replacement surgery with cemented and cementless implants, partial and total knee replacements and revision hip surgery. I am also the co-founder of the Liverpool Metastatic Bone Service (LiMBS) to treat patients with cancer spread to the bone. I perform massive endoprosthetic replacement to reconstruct the bone loss after cancer excision.

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.

At LiMBS we treat patients from the whole of the Merseyside and Cheshire region. 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 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.

In addition to my clinical work, I am an honorary lecturer at the University of Liverpool. 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. I teach the extended scope physiotherapists on the HEAL course at University of Liverpool; I am a reviewer for Strategies in Limb Reconstruction journal.
