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次全髋关节置换术的数量每年增加5%至10%。我们将超越传统的外科技术，提供一个准确，可靠的基于计算机的系统，这是更准确和可靠的科学。优化植入物选择标准，以更好地匹配患者的活动水平和骨生理学，并最大限度地减少翻修率;这对国家卫生预算和患者的生活质量具有重要意义。我们的进步将允许实施改进的手术技术，最大限度地降低植入物相关骨失效的风险。

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.
