- This paper represents a new collaboration between an Orthopaedic registrar and the School of Engineering, Cardiff. This is the first application of acoustic emission to assessing the fracturing of femurs during hip revision in a laboratory environment. The work led to a funded MRC Confidence in Concept Scheme project (£49k), that exploited the knowledge gained, to detecting screw thread stripping during surgery in conjunction with Zimmer Biomet (Development Engineering Manager) and Microchip (Technical Staff Engineer) and two Orthopaedic surgeons.
