Radboudumc and ATRO Medical start research on AI-generated artificial meniscus.

Professionals

The Orthopaedic Research Laboratory (ORL) of Radboudumc starts a new project with ATRO Medical: 3D-Printed PCU meniscus Prosthesis (3PPP). 3PPP combines the latest developments in sports medicine with the strength of AI. The durable meniscus prosthesis of ATRO Medical will be designed in 3D based on artificial intelligence, developed by the Orthopaedic Research Lab. Thanks to this technology, a scan of the healthy meniscus in one leg can be used to create a meniscus solution for the affected leg. In this way, the side with a lacking meniscus causing severe knee pain can receive a new shock absorber, molded to the individual patient.
