- Identified the few governing parameters for optimising fracture fixation of bone, enabling development of an “app” based on analytical mechanics in place of detailed numerical models used previously. The app’s prototype was evaluated by the NHS, who affirmed its potential for major impact on fracture treatment [NHS Lothian contact available]. Patient-specific implant specialists (a UK SME), 3DMP are considering its commercialisation [3DMP contact available]. It led to British Orthopaedic Research Society’s Travelling Research Fellowship (to MacLeod), invitation (to Pankaj) from Osteosynthesis and Trauma Care Foundation to address clinicians at Boston workshop and an invited paper on fracture fixation (DOI: 10.1016/S0020-1383(18)30296-1).
