Making knee patients happy
After knee replacement surgery, many patients remain dissatisfied due to unnatural joint sensation or limited range of motion. Together with the implant manufacturer Aesculap, ETH Zurich is developing new biomechanical models based on X-ray images of the moving knee joint in order to optimise implant placement and enable real-time predictions during surgery.
