Predictive models and simulations in bone regeneration: a multiscale patient-specific approach (CuraBone)

Start date: Apr 1, 2017, End date: Mar 31, 2021,

Bone injuries represent a high cost for the European health system, requiring corrective surgery to fix the bones. Traditionally, their treatment relies on classical orthopaedic techniques but, nowadays, it is possible to design and fabricate custom-made implants. Thanks to the current advance in image-based technologies, the reconstruction of models that are exact copies of patient specific bones ...
