Surgical operation outcome and bone fracture healing enhancement using fibre Bragg grating sensors and novel orthopaedic implants

Complex and time-consuming orthopaedic surgeries, bone recovery failure, and recurrent fractures are among the main challenges that surgeons deal with during and after surgical operations. Improving the outcome of orthopaedic surgeries and the recovery process of fractured bones as well as shortening the related rehabilitation time are vital. In this PhD research study, a new quantitative method to assess the bone recovery process is developed and the performance of a novel orthopaedic device is analysed.
