Predictive models and simulations in bone regeneration: a multiscale patient-specific approach (CuraBone)

Start date: Apr 1, 2017, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Bone injuries represent a high cost for the European health system, requiring corrective surgery to fix the bones. Traditionally, their treatment relies on classical orthopaedic techniques but, nowadays, it is possible to design and fabricate custom-made implants. Thanks to the current advance in image-based technologies, the reconstruction of models that are exact copies of patient specific bones ...

Improving safety and predictability of complex musculo-skeletal surgery using a patient-specific navigation system (TLEMsafe)

Start date: Mar 1, 2010, End date: Aug 31, 2014,

The burden of Musculo-Skeletal (M-S) diseases and prosthetic revision operations is huge and increasing rapidly with the aging population. For patients that require a major surgical intervention, procedures are unsafe, uncertain in outcome and have a high complication rate. The goal of TLEMsafe is to create an ICT-based patient-specific surgical navigation system that helps the surgeon safely reac ...
