Basic and applied research in orthopaedics and trauma surgery

Following in the tradition of Julius Wolff, we explore the interplay between mechanics and biology in bone and muscle. Motivated by clinical necessities, we concentrate on basic and applied research in orthopedics and trauma surgery.

Understanding of the interplay between movement and loading in joint replacement and fracture healing.

Enabling of movement.

Triggering of regeneration in challenging healing situations. These include delayed bone healing, bone defect healing, muscle trauma, ligament injuries and osteoarthritis.
