Creating and validating biofidelic knee mock-ups. A new tool to support orthopaedic training and development of surgical techniques and implants. KU Leuven
Orthopaedic surgery in the knee joint is one of the most frequently performed surgical treatments. It is usually considered very successful. Due to the ageing population, such operations will be required more often in the future. Thus, there will be a need for better and more reliable surgical techniques and implants.
