Join us in our new home at the stunning Sir Michael Uren Hub building, situated in the heart of Imperial College's White City campus. We have seven state-of-the-art laboratories, already at work driving innovation and discovery.

Patients with unilateral hip osteoarthritis demonstrate an asymmetric gait profile pre- op, overloading their non-affected leg. 12 months post- op of a H1 ceramic on ceramic hip resurfacing implant they restore gait function and demonstrate a symmetrical gait profile.

We developed software for planning knee surgery that allows the chosen implant to be compared with the native anatomy of the knee. (Simon Harris)

Of those tested, after normalising to the mean size, the surfaces were mostly within 2mm of the mean. By comparing the mean cartilage and mean bone, we found the thickest cartilage areas mapped well to the highest contact pressure regions found by other researchers. (Simon Harris)

Peri Acetabular Osteotomy is a procedure to realign the cup of the hip to provide better coverage of the femur and reduce the likelihood of hip dislocation. We have created software that allows a surgeon to plan surgery to change the cup orientation and compute measurements to predict coverage.

Those sticky bonds are the molecular basis of the stiffness we feel every morning. By understanding these sites and how collagen fibrils stick to one another, we are closer to understanding stiffness, which is a substantial part of the ageing process.
