SENIOR BIOMECHANICAL 3D MODELLING RESEARCHER

Project description

Biomechanical modeling functionality for web-based pre-surgical planning software

Nowadays pre-surgical joint replacement virtual planning software tools mainly allows to evaluate only static 3D models based on images (CT, MRI) disregarding the articulation and biomechanics of neighboring joints of individual patient. Main inputs of biomechanics are considered manually relying only on physician competence - this leads to undesirable long-term mechanical effects on replaceable joint area and other related joints. Absence of biomechanical evaluation may damage not only the specific replaceable joint, but also may cause unrecoverable disturbance in whole human body. The EU-funded BioMech-3D project aims to develop cutting-edge pre-operative planning software based on 3D musculoskeletal models and finite element models of the human body. Project technology will advance computational biomechanics – an emerging field that seeks to understand the complex biomechanical behaviors of human joints to come up with new orthopaedic treatment and rehabilitation methods.

Objective

Aim of this project is to develop surgeon-friendly 3D biomechanical simulation functionality as integral part of 3D models-based pre-operational planning software for evaluation of implant positioning to the movement axis of the neighbouring joints and the load distribution in the bone / implant contact zones in a risk-free environment. Therefore, Ortho Baltic is looking for a researcher with competence in clinical and computational biomechanics to join the research team in the development of cutting-edge 3D model-based pre-surgery planning software with 3D user interface via Web browser.
Recruited innovation associate would work as part of Ortho Baltic R&D team developing state-of-the-art 3D model-based pre-surgery planning tools by integrating human musculoskeletal simulation and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) functionalities. Innovation associate would be Senior biomechanical researcher, who will work in multidisciplinary team of our R&D unit and in cooperation with Ortho Baltic academic partners, keeping direct contact with leading surgeons to mitigate fundamental research into fieldable technology and deployable products.
