Arthritis Projects
Preventing and restoring loss of function are our major objectives for
individuals with osteo-, rheumatoid-, and traumatic-arthritis. Computer
modeling, and laboratory, animal and clinical studies play significant roles in
our research. Our efforts include the identification of new design concepts for
longer lasting joint replacements, cartilage repair and regeneration, and the
development and evaluation of therapy devices and protocols.
