The scope of the Orthopedic Biomaterials Project is to provide a research-oriented and a manufacturer-independent arena in the field of artificial materials and medical devices used in reconstructive surgery. It represents an interaction between the clinical activities at the hospital and the research facilities of the University of Bergen, Norway. Thus, it is an arena for translational research.
