PhD Scholarship in orthopaedics and Knee surgery

PhD Scholarship in orthopaedics and Knee surgery

This PhD project aims to investigate the biomechanical effects of the transfemoral hole characteristics on femoral bone integrity following hip replacement surgery.

Using finite element modelling (FEM) to simulate different hole configurations and validating these models with cadaveric femur specimens, this study will provide crucial insights to optimise surgical techniques and improve implant longevity.
