- Thesis title: How does patella alignment of a resurfaced knee affect the patellofemoral joint?
- Supervisors: Professor Todd Stewart, Professor Louise M Jennings, Professor Hemant Pandit, Dr Raelene Cowie
Profile
After completing my BSc in Mechanical Engineering in 2023, I began a PhD looking into the forces within the Patellofemoral joint.
Research interests
My PhD is looking into the Quadsense sensor, a novel device designed by Eventum Orthopedics to measure the interoperative patellofemoral force duirng total knee arthroplasty.
The aim is to measure the effect of prosthesis alignment during knee surgery and the affect this has on the magnitude and distribution of the force within the patellofemoral joint.
