Funded Activity Summary

Computer simulation techniques to reduce the incidence of femoral fracture after hip replacement surgery. Australia's ageing population is driving an increase of 5% to 10% a year in the number of primary total hip replacements. We will move beyond conventional surgical techniques, to deliver the science for an accurate, reliable computer-based system that is significantly more accurate and reliable. Optimising implant selection criteria to better match patients' activity levels and bone physiology and minimise revision rates; this has major implications for the national health budget and patients' quality of life. Our advances will allow the implementation of improved surgical techniques that minimise the risk of implant related bone failure.
