Validation Capabilities at the Julius Wolff Institute, Charité

At the Julius Wolff institute, we can assess the inside of the human body by different methods: musculo-skeletal models, telemetric measurements (orthoload.com), animal experiments, clinical cases, or also fluoroscopy (X-rays) while internally, muscles and bones are loaded. This enables us to validate our models by directly comparing them to patient data or experiments with defined loads on artificial bones and fracture defects.
