Ongoing Research

Fiber optics sensors for monitoring bone quality and fracture healing. These are very small diameter (40-80 microns) fibers that can be embedded in the fracture fixation implants or attached to the surface of the bone. They have multiple etchings or mirrors called gratings that reflect a portion of the light that is passing through them. The wavelength of the reflected light changes with the changing physical parameters such as stress, temperature, vibration etc. By measuring the change in wavelength, the physical environment around the fibers could be deduced accurately.

Tracking three-dimensional motion of the carpal bones with particular reference to scaphoid, lunate and triquetrium in normal wrists as well in injured wrists with various types of instability patterns. Hitherto, we have been relying on X-rays, which are two-dimensional representation of what is actually a three-dimensional, inter-related and complex motion between bones that are of irregular shape and interconnected by means of several ligaments. It is anticipated that this research will lead to a better understanding of the various instability patterns and would allow us to treat them in a better way.
