Project 2: Hip to be square

Investigative Hip Arthroplasty and Conceptual Design

Our patient, Diane Chambers has severe right hip pain due to rheumatoid arthritis. Her arthritic hip needs to be replaced with consideration given to her osteoporosis. This should alleviate her joint pain in her hip. Our implant, Osteogrow, is a modular implant that promotes osseointegration. It's combination of light, biocompatible materials, careful surgical fixation and special liner allows the bone to grow around the implant, creating a stable solution that will last. 

Designed and created by: Sharon Cai, Emelie Kuepper, Megan Weatherston, and Taylor Kramer
