Joints to be replaced

The Faculty of Materials Science and Engineering of Warsaw University of Technology, Wołoska 141, room 311
Emilia Choińska, M.Sc.

It is said that modern medicine does miracles. But would this be possible without the support of technology? Not really. One example of such help for doctors is making different types of endoprostheses of joints by engineers. Thanks to them, a few thousand people a year in Poland can recover and regain their normal activity.

Guests who will come to the event will be able to see the structure of different types of endoprostheses and learn what materials they are made of. The programme also includes short animations which show schematically the course of a surgery of inserting an endoprosthesis.
