Recommended Literature

Welcome to our recommended literature page for orthopaedic technology. This collection of studies is an important part of our product development and we work continuously to ensure that our work is always supported by the latest research. We are committed to sharing knowledge and have therefore compiled links to relevant studies. Please note that we do not provide the full studies, but offer links where you can read the study abstracts or in some cases access the full study.
