Project Summary: This podcast will give a brief overview about what micromechanical surgery is, and go in depth into an application of a material studied at a micro level, and then in theory applied at a macro level. The material that we are looking at is a combination of bone and cement. This is used to benefit surgical techniques and processes in total hip replacement surgeries. This podcast includes a summary of the research study, pros and cons, and what advancements need to be made before this can be applied for consumer use.
