Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology - ETH Zurich

We are happy to share the results of moving fluoroscopy analyses we performed on various activities of daily living, with the potential to improve our understanding of the demands on joint arthroplasty. @SchulthessNews frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

The Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology and the Schulthess Klinik are pleased to announce a new opportunity for a collaborative Post-doctoral Fellowship in Shoulder Biomechanics at the ETH Zurich: jobs.ethz.ch/job/view/JOPG_…

Congratulations to @JohannaMenze for winning the #ESBiomech Clinical Biomechanics Award 2022! #research #PhD #biomechanics #ESBiomech2022 #personalisedmedicine @unibern

A real pleasure to be back again in person at the @ESBiomech_2022 in Porto and to meet all our colleagues in the European Society of Biomechanics @ESBiomech

Honoured that our ANNUMECH project was recognised with the Berton Rahn Research Award. Thank you to all AO CRP Annulus Fibrosus Repair colleagues for the excellent collaboration over the years, but especially to @Wuertz_Lab , @iatridislab , @AOFoundation and @unibern .

Impact simulations of falls from standing height investigated impact dynamics and fx risk. Lateral and posterior-lateral impacts were most dangerous, and hip protectors most effective for lateral and oblique impacts. @IBAL_Lab, @FergusonLabETH, @IFleps rdcu.be/cIrnq

Interested in hip fracture prevention? Computational models based on CT are a powerful tool for risk assessment but are affected by loading alignment and the choice of material model. 👉sciencedirect.com/science/articl… @ETH_en @uni_iceland @FergusonLabETH @lmbethz #openaccess

Using large-scale topology optimization in our NU-SPINE European project we realized that more people could benefit from using high-res TO if it would be made accessible in Python. The open-access paper on this topic is available at: rdcu.be/cxMRn #Python

Ben Helgason from LOT returning to Switzerland tonight after spending 2 months in Singapore working on the Future Health Technologies program (sec.ethz.ch/research/fht.h…). Thanks everyone at the @SEC_ETH that helped organize the residency under challenging circumstances.

We’re happy to share the results of our very productive collaboration with the AO Research Institute on organ-scale evaluation of electrospun membranes for intervertebral disc repair. @AOFoundation @ETH_en #JORSpine onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/js…

Great work by IRCCS Galeazzi Institute, using our thoracic spine model to study idiopathic adolescent scoliosis. @LaBS_Polimi @FergusonLabETH @DIgnasiakPhD sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The Laboratory for Orthopaedic Technology is deeply saddened to pass on the news of the sudden demise of our esteemed ETH colleague Prof. James R. Mitchell, a pioneer in the field of aging biology.

Interesting paper on the influence of fibre diameter on the mechanical properties of single electrospun fibres and membranes. Congratulations Dmitriy Alexeev! @ETH_en @UZH_en, @SnedekerLab doi.org/10.1016/j.mtco…

Interested in patient-specific cranial implants? Check out this publication that compares two additive manufacturing methods using experiments and computational models. Congratulations to Susanne Lewin and Ingmar Fleps! @ceciliapersso11, @FergusonLabETH sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Congratulations to Thomas Zumbrunn for receiving @venturekick support for his @startups project CustomSurg, which develops novel approaches for the management of complex fractures. #SwissStartups, @FergusonLabETH, @ETH_en venturekick.ch/CHF-40000-for-…

We are happy to share this collaborative study on finite element models for the assessment of quasi-static and impact mechanics of Ti-CaP cranial-implants. Congratulations Susanne Lewin! @ceciliapersso11 @FergusonLabETH @MechBioMat sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Interested in the assessment of fracture healing? Have a look at this interesting approach using virtual mechanical testing. @DaileyOrthoLab @FergusonLabETH @LehighU @ETH_en @UZH_en #JOR @UZH_en onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jo…

Check out our latest paper one #bone and #stress in @IJMS_MDPI with @IsabelleMMansuy @eth_bone @Elena_Cambria @martroki and more collaborators at @unipotsdam @jlugiessen @LMU_Muenchen @ETH_en @paracelsus_uni and of course @_RITEngineering: mdpi.com/1422-0067/21/1…

Congratulations to Thomas Zumbrunn for receiving @BRIDGE_funding for his @startups project CustomSurg. @Innosuisse, @snf_ch, @startups_CH, @FergusonLabETH, @ETH_en
