The Open Ankle Model(s) is a collaborative project funded by <a href=\"https:\/\/oruk.org\/\">Orthopaedic Research UK<\/a> as an Early Career Research Fellowship. The project is led by Dr Pegg and our vision is to produce standardised and validated models of the ankle joint which can facilitate the use of simulation (so called \"<em>in-silico<\/em> trials\") to inform and optimise ankle treatment.<\/p>\n<p>There are many stakeholders in this project; patients, clinicians, researchers, and more, and our goal is to collaborate with everyone who has an interest in the project so that we can ensure our models are useful to the orthopaedic community. Our team consists of three people working at the University of Bath: Dr Pegg is leading the project, Prof Gill is her mentor, and Dr Talbott is a post-doctoral researcher. We also have a steering committee, who are a mixture of engineers and clinicians that guide the project; Dr Brockett, Mr Gulati, and Mr Mangwani. Lastly, we have had two mechanical engineering undergraduate students working on this project at the University of Bath; these are Hao Chen, and Ben Lajie who have now graduated, and we would like to thank them for all their hard work.<\/p>\n<p>Below are the details of everyone currently working on the project, click on the photos for more information, and if you want to be involved please don't hesitate to get in touch (email: <a href=\"mailto:e.c.pegg@bath.ac.uk\">e.c.pegg@bath.ac.uk<\/a>)<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/researchportal.bath.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/elise-pegg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/researchportal.bath.ac.uk\/files-asset\/147261564\/Pegg_E_28889_APP_1675.jpg?w=160&amp;f=webp\" alt=\"Photograph of Dr Elise Pegg\" width=\"250\" height=\"178\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr Elise Pegg, University of Bath (Project lead)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/researchportal.bath.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/harriet-talbott\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.bath.ac.uk\/open-ankle-model\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/196\/2022\/09\/HattiePicture-225x300.jpg\" alt=\"Photograph of Dr Harriet Talbott\" width=\"250\" height=\"213\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr Harriet Talbott, University of Bath (Researcher)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/eps.leeds.ac.uk\/mechanical-engineering\/staff\/360\/dr-claire-brockett\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.imbe.leeds.ac.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/54\/2017\/07\/DSC_6347-CLB-e1576591609582.jpg\" alt=\"Photograph of Dr Claire Brockett\" width=\"250\" height=\"1854\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Dr Claire Brockett, University of Leeds (Steering Committee)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.researchgate.net\/profile\/Aashish-Gulati\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com\/bupa-images-4b24291849b400303aea648fcd38a718\/235075\/5d682a23-99c7-4416-8657-6847a2883532.png\" alt=\"Photograph of Mr Aashish Gulati\" width=\"250\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr Aashish Gulati, Sandwell and West Birmingham Hospitals NHS Trust (Steering Committee)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bofas.org.uk\/clinician\/committees\/scientific-committee\/mangwani\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bofas.org.uk\/portals\/0\/Images\/profile_photos\/Mangwani_Jit.jpg?ver=cXKoYwwGFJ_86BiSLpzg6A%3d%3d\" alt=\"Photograph of Mr Jitendra Mangwani\" width=\"250\" height=\"600\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mr Jitendra Mangwani, University Hospitals of Leicester (Steering Committee)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure style=\"width: 250px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/researchportal.bath.ac.uk\/en\/persons\/richie-gill\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/researchportal.bath.ac.uk\/files-asset\/112368828\/gill_richie.jpg?w=160&amp;f=webp\" alt=\"Photograph of Professor Richie Gill\" width=\"250\" height=\"193\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Professor Richie Gill, University of Bath (Project Mentor)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It's an absolute delight to launch this blog of our development of an open-source finite element model of the ankle.
