Orthopaedic Bioengineering - Nano to Device Level

This symposium focuses on the orthopaedic sciences from engineering and medical viewpoints. The following areas will be emphasized: 1) Orthopaedic Sciences, 2) Devices and 3) Nano-Device level mechanisms with an emphasis on the design optimization issues, modeling behaviors, and clinical applications. Abstracts in the field in the modeling areas of devices, soft-hard material phenomenon, nano scale phenomenon that accompany bone healing and remodeling following orthopaedic surgery will be sought. Additional emphasis will be placed on covering failure modes of orthopaedic devices such as wear and infection and modeling those processes in laboratory and in vivo environments. The topics involving medical devices, application of biological sciences, materials and biomaterials are interdisciplinary in nature providing a confluence of three areas namely, sciences, engineering and medicine at this symposium.
Examples of topics to be covered by this symposium include:
- Modeling orthopaedic processes
- Biomechanics of total joints and bones
- Characterization of biomaterials
- Failure modes of medical devices
- Modeling wear growth rates laboratory and in vivo applications
- Orthopaedic healing
- Clinical fixation issues, modeling, and outcomes
- Design and development of new devices
