Engineers Develop Method to Increase Lifespan of Joint Replacements (Product Design and Development)
Researchers at the University of Southampton have completed a project that will enable surgeons to fit joint replacements with longer, optimized lifespans. The MXL project uses computational modelling to define the mechanics of an artificial joint – a complex interaction of individual anatomy, prosthesis design, sizing and placement – to ensure successful surgery and longer lifespans of the prosthetic joints.
Professor Markus Heller, leader of the MXL project, says: “Joint replacement surgery s...
