Description

The Regional University Knowledge Center grant is a grand, complex project based on the scientific capacity of University of Debrecen. The Department of Orthopaedic Surgery and our Laboratory worked on a sub-project whithin this main project.

The most important goal of our sub-project was the development of a new biologically fixed total hip revision endoprosthesis system.

Our further aims are to develop and construct a new moving device prototype that helps the rehabilitation of the patients after implanting a knee or a hip prosthesis, additionally the development of a special operating table for spine surgery based on a new concept.

Results

Because of indrustrial properties now we can not publish materials about the operating table and the moving device yet, however we built both working prototypes.
