Computer simulation techniques to reduce the incidence of femoral fracture after hip replacement surgery

澳大利亚人口老龄化导致初级全髋关节置换术的数量每年增长5%到10%。我们将超越传统的外科技术，为精确、可靠的计算机系统提供科学依据，这种系统将大大提高准确性和可靠性。优化种植体选择标准，以更好地匹配患者的活动水平和骨生理，并尽量减少翻修率；这对国家卫生预算和病人的生活质量有重大影响。我们的进步将允许实施改进的手术技术，将种植体相关骨衰竭的风险降至最低。

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.
