Research project: Retrospective clinical verification of patient specific finite element models of total hip and knee replacement
This project is part of an EU funded research project entitled "Enhanced patient safety by computational modelling from clinically available X-rays to minimise the risk of overload and instability for optimised function and joint longevity" or MXL. The aim of the MXL project is to develop computational tools to assist in the decision making process for orthopaedic surgeons performing total joint replacement.

The aim of this retrospective study is to generate patient specific FE models of total hip and knee replacement patients and compare the model predictions with the known clinical outcome. This study will establish between pre-clinical testing and actual clinical performance. My role in this project is to generate patient specific FE models from CT data and patient geometry developed from the MXL project.
