A primary goal of the JRSI Orthopaedic Biomedical Engineering Laboratory is to conduct meaningful research in the field of implant design and surgical technique in order to improve the longevity of total joint replacement procedures. Students, faculty, and surgeons work in collaboration using the latest software and testing equipment to evaluate current and future technologies with our industry partners.  Our research has historically focused on the intricate biomechanical relationship between how a prosthesis is designed, how it is implanted, and how that implant affects the biomechanics of the human skeleton.
