Correlative assessment of patient´s progress subjected to a hip implant procedure. Case study

Hip implant surgery became one of the most popular rehabilitation procedures for femoral head dysfunctions. During the last decades, lots of progress has been made both concerning the technology and the materials used, computer science intervened in designing personalized implants, and virtual preliminary operations are made. But after performing the actual surgery, the task is not finished, the patient needs recovery and permanent assessment. The paper proposes correlative assessment methods for these patients, performed by medical engineers that may work closely together with the doctor in order to decide the best recovery procedures.
