This research develops 3D-printed hydroxyapatite scaffolds that actively stimulate bone regeneration. Unlike traditional bone grafts, these synthetic scaffolds recruit stem cells and encourage new bone formation. Animal studies show promising healing results, raising the possibility of personalised, patient-specific implants that improve recovery from severe bone injuries and defects.

This research develops a robotic system capable of reproducing real-world knee motions and ACL injury mechanisms in human cadaver knees. The platform enables realistic testing of injury-prevention technologies, improves understanding of ACL rupture biomechanics, and may help reduce injury risk, particularly among women who experience higher ACL injury rates.
