Luke Johnson🎄 Early Christmas present! 🎄
I managed to squeeze one more paper out of my PhD, and here's my web summary. Plus some juicy behind-the-scenes details!

Research summary: Perthes’ disease and cartilage stress
In the last publication from my PhD thesis, I made a “digital twin” finite element model of the hip to predict damaging stresses in the cartilage during walking. I demonstrated this by simulating both hips in a single patient with Perthes’ deformity—one side affected and the other unaffected. The results of this demonstration showed the importance of considering not just the forces applied to the hip but also its motion, and similar techniques could be used to tailor patient-specific surgical or non-surgical management pathways for patients with residual Perthes’ deformity.
