Patients recover more quickly.
And medical teams perform complicated procedures and surgeries daily. Really, due to medical advances in treatment and technology, doctors help extend human life. Behind the scenes, engineers are helping bring comfort to the thousands of people who suffer from bad joints. They are, in fact, constantly striving to invent new technologies. And they are creating joint replacement devices, analyzing cartilage wear, studying biochemical effects and applying the principles of engineering to medicine in an increasingly popular field known as Biomechanics.
