Research Research groups Simulations of bone and joint biomechanics

About

We focus on the development of biomechanical simulations and innovations and their translation to clinical practice, to deliver the best care for patients with musculoskeletal disorders.

Aims

We focus on the following topics:

  1. Biomechanical evaluation of fixation and survival of implants, focusing on standard joint replacement implants (that are suitable for the majority of the patients) and on patient-specific implants that we develop in-house.
  2. Functional reconstruction of joint deformities. Rather than restoring the shape or anatomy, our group performs research on restoring and optimizing functionality.
  3. Early interventions and joint-preserving surgery, to prevent osteoarthritis and avoid large orthopaedic reconstructions at an early stage.

The following methods and technology are used in our research:
