Helping the development of personalised orthopaedics
STL Surgical Technology Lab
Research at Surgical Technology Lab joins up clinical and engineering expertise to improve patients’ lives and surgeons’ experience.
Our research helps understand how best medical imaging can be used to prevent and diagnose disease, plan and deliver joint replacement and reconstruction surgery, through advanced image analysis of each patient pre and post-operatively.
Our aim is to improve musculoskeletal function in humans; in patients with hip and knee problems and also those with replacements and ultimately to help minimise the healthcare, patient and societal costs of arthroplasty.
