In the realm of complex surgeries like single-event multi-level surgeries, the fundamental question arises: should our focus lie in correcting the patient’s gait pattern or restoring the femoral geometry to a perceived ‘normal’? Understanding that loading patterns on bones significantly influence their development, our team investigated the impact of these parameters on the asymmetry of […]

MSc student Callum Bühler published his first peer-reviewed paper. His work was supervised by Dr Hans Kainz and supported by PhD student Willi Koller and study assistant Florentina de Comtes. In this paper Callum and colleagues showed how the use of an elastic resistance band during hip exercises influence muscle force and hip joint contact […]
