      <image:title>Dr. Khalid Merghani - I can work with all types of orthopaedic trauma from fracture fixations, hip and knee primary and revision replacements, and soft tissue surgery.</image:title>
      <image:caption>On the work front, I have keen interest in Anterior minimally invasive hip replacement, knee surgery with a focus on robotic aided and computer navigated knee replacement. Similarly, I take an interest in performing procedures such as known anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction, management of cartilage lesions, management of meniscus injuries, high tibial osteotomy, and joint preservation surgery. My scope of practice includes procedures around the patella-femoral joint including patellar stabilisation such as MPFL reconstruction and tibial tubercle osteotomy, along with patellofemoral joint replacement. I am very keen to adopt technological advances in my practice and am working to integrate robotics, computer navigation and customisation into most of my surgical procedures.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Dr. Khalid Merghani - I currently hold a public job through open competition in the Midland Hospital in Tullamore where I previously worked as a trainee. Besides professional ties, I have a close personal belonging to the locality through my marriage, which makes the prospect enjoyable for me.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I also have privileges of access to private institutions where I conduct my private clinics and operating; this includes Beacon Hospital, Hermitage Medical Clinic and Charter Medical Private Hospital. This allows me to provide a wide range of services in a private capacity.   Upon completing my orthopaedic training in Ireland, I refined my skills by learning robotic, computer navigated, sensor aided arthroplasty of the hip and knee in addition to soft knee tissue surgery in Australia. Furthermore, I have worked closely with the Clifford Craig Research Institute, and we received a grant for the RSA knee replacement study. I devised an online module for orthopaedic education during my training, showcasing my passion for medical education. My aim is to modernise orthopaedic surgical procedures and deliver personalised care and service to my patients.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Anterior Hip Replacement - The procedure eliminates hip pain by resecting the degenerative parts and replacing them with artificial parts.</image:title>
      <image:caption>For those looking to schedule Hip replacement surgery for themselves, the website https://www.orthopaedicsurgery.ie will explain every aspect of the procedure. Starting from prior preparation to rehabilitation and long-term care, many factors influence the benefit you get from your newly replaced hip. The members of our Orthopaedic team will walk you through the entire process using interactive demonstrations and videos. This way, you can learn valuable tips and tricks to ensure a speedy recovery and long-term benefit.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Anterior Hip Replacement - Arthritis or damage to the articular cartilage is the most common cause leading to hip replacement surgery. Now, whether you need surgery entirely depends on the extent of damage inflicted upon the articular cartilage.</image:title>
      <image:caption>Usually, arthritis is diagnosed upon groin pain and knee pain. While doctors initially prescribe pain relief medication and physiotherapy to treat arthritis, hip replacement surgery is recommended when all other methods have been exhausted.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Robotic Knee Replacement - Knee replacement surgery or arthroplasty is a standard operation in which the damaged or worn knee is replaced with an artificial joint. Although adults of all ages could need a knee replacement, surgery is most often required in people aged 60 to 80.</image:title>
      <image:caption>With age, the articular cartilage - the tissue covering the bone in the joint - wears out due to excessive use. The condition is called arthritis. Some patients may have inflammatory arthritis, while others may develop the condition after a fracture in their knee.  Patients require knee surgery when their mobility is limited or reduced and they're in pain even when resting. Early treatment includes physiotherapy, injection therapy, and pain relief medication.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Robotic Knee Replacement - What Is a Knee Replacement Made From?</image:title>
      <image:caption>Today, there are several knee replacement implants on the market. The design and brand you need will be determined by your doctor based on different factors, such as your knee problem, the doctor's familiarity with the implant, and the cost of the implant.  All implant materials must follow specific criteria. For example, they must be biocompatible, which means the body should accept them. They should also have weight-bearing abilities and retain their shape and strength for a long time.  In the knee replacement procedure, the surgeon makes a vertical incision of 10cm long at the frontal side of the knee. The surgeon then removes the joint surfaces from the shinbone and the thigh bone. In some instances, they also remove the undersurface of the knee cap.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The Food Pyramid is a visual guide to the proportions and types of food we must eat to maintain good health. The pyramid has five core food groups and indicates how much of them you need to consume to have a balanced diet.  You need adequate carbohydrates, proteins, minerals, fats, and vitamins to ensure proper and quick healing in the recovery stage. An excellent way to maintain a balanced diet is to follow the Food Pyramid.</image:caption>

      <image:title>Prof.Karthik Srinivasan - Prof.Karthik Srinivasan works as a specialist anesthesiologist for patients undergoing orthopaedic surgeries. These include procedures such as hip and knee replacement surgeries.</image:title>
      <image:caption>I am a part of the prestigious organisation Critical Care Partners (CCP). This group involves highly experienced consultant physicians who work with anaesthesia, intensive care, and perioperative medicine. After completing three years of anesthesiology training in India, I spent seven years on specialist training in Ireland. This, followed by subspecialty training in regional anaesthesia from Duke University Hospital in Morrisville,USA, further enhanced my professional anaesthesiology experience. My PhD from University College Cork, which focuses on “Neuraxial anaesthesia” which is commonly used in joint replacement, has provided me with the unique expertise in this area.</image:caption>
