The Biomedical Development Program provides solutions with high translational potential to advance patient care by addressing contemporary clinical challenges in traumatology and orthopaedics mainly related to bone fracture fixation, joint reconstruction, and bone healing. In this regard, cutting-edge research is combined with development of innovative technologies and implants for orthopaedic applications and educational purposes. The multidisciplinary R&D team, consisting of physicists, engineers, orthopaedic trauma surgeons and technicians, utilizes extensive know-how, expertise and experience in the fields of biomechanical testing, computational analyses, and medical device and technology development, workings in close collaboration with clinical, scientific, and industrial partners, as well as with the AO Clinical Divisions and AO Innovation Translation Center.
Our goals are
- To develop and analyze new concepts and inspect new technologies that have potential relevance to solving clinical problems
- To perform experimental and computational studies enhancing bone fracture fixation
- To develop appropriate methods and procedures for the acquisition and analysis of medical image data
