This proposal is tightly focussed on addressing major unmet clinical needs in the repair and rehabilitation of non-union fractures, in particular for long-bone and cranio-facial trauma. A non-union is a broken bone that fails to heal. These result from both civilian and military injuries including the consequences of cancer and lead to pain, suffering and loss of dignity. Our aim is to create a co-ordinated self-sustaining network linking the Trauma HTC and other major UK clinical research centres, both civilian and military, in order to pull solutions from the science and technology research community and assist their translation to the clinic. The network will link with centres of expertise and research excellence in healthcare technologies supported by EPSRC and others, and to industry and other key stakeholders including patients. This network will ensure, by a programme of activities with both proven and novel components, that these disparate communities are empowered to explore together those areas where new scientific and technological opportunities have the promise to resolve important clinical problems.

这一建议的重点是解决主要未满足的临床需求，修复和康复的不愈合骨折，特别是长骨和颅面创伤。骨不连是指骨折后无法愈合。这些伤害来自平民和军人的伤害，包括癌症的后果，并导致痛苦、痛苦和丧失尊严。我们的目标是建立一个协调的自我维持网络，将创伤HTC和其他主要的英国临床研究中心（包括民用和军用）联系起来，以便从科学和技术研究界获得解决方案，并协助将其转化为临床。该网络将与EPSRC和其他机构支持的医疗技术专业知识和卓越研究中心，以及行业和包括患者在内的其他关键利益相关者联系起来。该网络将通过一项既有经过验证的内容又有新颖内容的活动计划，确保这些不同的社区能够共同探索新的科学和技术机会有望解决重要临床问题的领域。
