  1. DEVASPIM Development of a tool based on new technologies for the design and evaluation of spine implants www.devaspim.com Proposal/Contract no.: CRAF-1999-71634 / IST-1999-57446

  2. IBV: INSTITUTE OF BIOMECHANICS VALENCIA RTD specialized in biomechanics www.ibv.org SERAM: LABORATOIRE DE BIOMECANIQUE at ENSAM RTD specialized in biomechanics. FEM spine www.ensam.fr/ LAFITT Manufacture and marketing of implants and instruments for trauma and orthopaedics surgery company www.lafitt-sa.com PRAXIM technology transfer, essentially, in the field of on-line assisted surgery company www.praxim.fr SURGIVIEW development of information technology products related with spine companies www.surgiview.com SALGADO design and commercialisation of implants and prosthesis for traumatology and orthopaedics company www.artursalgado.pt ADAPTING leading company in technological consulting and development of advanced e-business applications. www.adapting.com

  3. Objective: to develop a tool based on information and communication technologies accessible via internet for surgeons and manufacturers of spine implants using the Finite Element Method.

  4. Web page ==> support of this tool UFI input where the surgeons enter the input data about: patient and injury to be treated UFI output where the surgeons obtain the result about the biomechanic behaviour of the implant cofiguration

  5. Make a data base with all this information flowing

  6. service new model Research centre new implant Implant manufacturers Data transmission to the parameterised model Data transformation for the model FEM Calculation FEM Calculation Result translation Result transmission New product inclusion

  7. Minimise the number of failures due to inadequate lumbar spine implants, as it: • Optimises design process of lumbar spine implants • by reducing failure due to bad design and improving competitiveness of the manufacturers (implant industries) in the segment of spine implants. • Minimises technical failures • due to the selection of inappropriate configurations, through a better preoperative planning. • Improves communication between surgeons and manufacters • providing the surgeons a better biomechanical knowledge of the product and the manufacturers with a deeper understanding of major clinical problems .

  8. DEVASPIM Evolution • To define new users and different protocols of access rights • To consider new inputs (clinical data) in order to improve predictive capabilities • To share results of FEM simulations • To apply the “philosophy” to other human joints and prosthesis
