Computer-Assisted Analysis and Design of Hip Replacement Surgery

这项研究启动基金将开发一个计算机图形系统来分析髋关节置换术的潜在结果。这项工作的重点是将髋关节假体的几何模型纳入人类下肢模型，并确定假体设计和手术程序如何影响术后髋关节肌肉力量。该项目强调一般原则，而不是针对特定个体的手术计划。本研究可望提供一个互动系统，对手术计划及外科手术的生物力学原理教学有帮助。

This research initiation grant will develop a computer graphics system to analyze the potential outcome of hip replacement surgery. The thrust of the work is to incorporate a geometric model of a hip prosthesis into a model of the human lower limb and to determine how the prosthesis design and surgical procedure affect post-surgical hip muscle strength. The project emphasizes general principles rather than the planning of surgery for specific individuals. The research is expected to provide an interactive system that is useful for the planning of surgery and for teaching the biomechanical principles of surgical procedures.
