The Centre for Orthopaedic Biomechanics is a partnership between the Departments of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath and Orthopaedic Surgery at the University of Bristol. The Centre has a close collaboration with the Institute of Orthopaedic and Musculo-Skeletal Science at UCL, Stanmore and the Royal Veterinary College in London and also has a strong developing association with the Princess Elizabeth Orthopaedic Hospital at Exeter. The Centre provides a resource for multidisciplinary research providing a bridge between engineering and clinical orthopaedics. Engineering and materials based research is carried out in laboratory based facilities at the Bath site while the Avon Orthopaedic Centre at Southmead Hospital offers clinically based research facilities to support Histology, Microbiology and Cell Biology. The laboratory based facilities at Bath accommodate a wide range of research activities relating to total joint replacement, the spine, the hand and wrist, biomaterials and fracture management. In addition the Centre offers a resource for preclinical validation of devices for the Orthopaedic and Medical Device Industry. The Centre is managed by a team representing the associated Institutions. An Industrial Steering Committee, drawn from both large and small Orthopaedic Companies provides an important input into guiding the research focus of the Centre. In addition to supporting the research activities, the Centre also makes a contribution to continuing education and training by hosting specialist courses and workshops. The
