July 2010 | Device would put fractures back together
A TEAM of researchers is developing a robotics device that can put fractures back together as perfectly as possible. 
Dr Sanja Dogramadzi, an engineer at the University of the West of England is working with professor Roger Atkins, an orthopaedic surgeon from the Bristol Royal Infirmary and specialised software company Simpleware to enhance the management of complex, joints' fractures using state-of-the-art 3D imaging, pattern recognition and robotics.  
Sanja will use CT scans of healthy and fractured joints to work out the mathematical algorithm for the exact displacement and rotation needed for each fragment to be put back together in exactly the right place.
