If a patient&#8217;s femur breaks, they could lose mobility for the rest of their life. The current procedure to reinforce weakened femurs is not always effective. The team has designed, prototyped, and tested a set of devices that will improve the existing procedure. The devices include an improved tumor removal tool, a sophisticated cement applicator, and a redesigned femoral nail.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City of Hope Engineering, 2015-16 Liaison(s): Dr. J.
