- This paper represents the most detailed characterisation yet, of human anatomy at the site of ACL reconstructive surgery. Development of a 3D model of morphology enabled improved placement of ligament grafts during surgery. Tim Spalding, paper author and lead surgeon, runs the UK’s largest sports knee surgery training course (approx. 250 surgeons every 2 years) which is impacting wider practice (tim.spalding@uhcw.nhs.uk). The research has also changed practice within UHCW who perform 200 operations per year (andrew.metcalfe@uhcw.nhs.uk). Imaging research outcomes include £2.5M (WMG High Value Manufacturing Catapult), £1.2M EPSRC capital investment in MicroCT, and £1M in imaging research with industry partners.
