PROJECTS
Data modelling for design
Using shape analysis to personalise joint replacements and predict outcomes
Every bone is different—and our work helps capture and understand that variation. We use statistical shape modelling to analyse how joints differ across the population. This helps us design implants that fit better, improve surgical accuracy, and guide decisions during complex procedures.
How we personalise implants and tools for complex cases
PATIENT-SPECIFIC INSTRUMENTATION (PSI)
Custom surgical guides tailored to the patient’s anatomy
Help surgeons reproduce the pre-operative plan more accurately
Improve alignment, precision, and confidence in challenging cases
OVERCOMING IMAGING CHALLENGES IN REVISION SURGERY
Previous metal implants can distort CT scans (known as artefacts)
We use carefully timed imaging—such as scanning after implant removal—to get clean, usable 3D models
This allows us to design custom implants even when bone loss is severe or distorted
CUSTOM 3D-PRINTED IMPLANTS
Created from detailed CT scans of the patient’s bone
Designed to address complex bone defects and anatomical challenges
Include porous structures to promote bone integration and long-term stability
