“An astronaut with broken bones?” – why bone healing simulations in space applications can be useful in down- & upstream scenarios When we first began exploring the use cases of bone healing simulations in a space context, we encountered a consistent set of questions: “When and how exactly is an astronaut supposed to break a […]
Introducing OSsistant Why OSORA exists: surgical planning in orthopaedic & trauma care needs a new approach Helping patients regain mobility after musculoskeletal injuries remains a major clinical challenge. While more therapeutic options are available than ever before, the pace at which state-of-the-art technology is transforming medical care continues to accelerate. At OSORA, we took a

Proof-of-concept simulation of bone remodeling in dental implants: Institute for Medical Technology and Mechatronics at Ulm University of Applied Sciences (THU) uses OSORA simulation software When placing dental implants in patients with periodontally compromised dentition, the risk of complications, bone loss, and implant failure is increased compared to healthy patients (Sgolastra et al., 2015). In the

Effects of weight-bearing scenarios on bone healing can be revealed by OSORA simulations Problem After fracture treatment, determining how much weight a patient can safely place on the healing bone is often a major challenge. Standardized guidelines or “pain-adapted” load-bearing approaches rarely reflect the unique healing capacity of each individual: Patients need to understand how

“Influence of loading on the healing behavior of surgically treated tibial fractures” The topic of Yannick’s thesis shows his dedication to biomechanics and is the climax of his Bachelor of Engineering degree. The award was presented at the academic anniversary celebration and award ceremony at Offenburg University of Applied Sciences. Yannick developed a novel loading
Build, learn, innovate: Open jobs, internships & thesis projects at OSORA At OSORA, we’re bridging the gap between numerical simulation, AI and clinical care by building a cloud-based simulation platform that predicts whether and how bone fractures heal for individual patients. Our work empowers surgeons to make data-driven decisions—and now, we’re looking for computer science

Ensuring safe and effective treatment of bone defects is the top priority for clinicians. However, treating musculoskeletal disorders is increasingly complex due to the diverse characteristics of patients. Aging and diseases such as osteoporosis may impair bone regeneration, while young patients and children exhibit significantly accelerated healing progress. Advancements in technology and data accessibility offer
What is a digital twin for orthopedics and trauma surgery? Read More »
After almost 25 years of basic research in biomechanics, in 2022 we built a proof of concept of our idea of a clinical bone fracture management software with our clinical colleagues from the University Hospital Ulm. In our recent project together with a group of BG Clinics, we moved into tibial fractures and a substantially

Is it possible to predict uncomplicated bone healing and the development of pseudarthrosis on the basis of the accident pictures, the clinical information at the time of the accident and the first treatment pictures? Together with a consortium of the BG clinics of Ludwigshafen, Tübingen, Murnau and Duisburg, OSORA is going to work on the
At the 41st AO Trauma Blended Course in Halle we tested a novel teaching concept for assistant doctors, developed together with apl. Prof. Dr. Thomas Mendel of the BG Clinic Bergmannstrost. With a total of 122 participants, 26 instructors and spanning three days, the event brought a whole new set of challenges for OSORA. One
