About
Fiona Lampe is a pioneering researcher in the field of orthopedic surgery and medical device innovation, with a primary focus on the application of water jet cutting technology for bone and bone cement. Her seminal work, "Water Jet Cutting zur Bearbeitung von Knochen und Knochenzement" (2000), with 24 citations, established the foundational parameters for using this industrial technique in a medical context. Lampe's major contribution lies in systematically evaluating the possibilities and limitations of adapting abrasive and plain water jet methods—long used in non-metallic industrial cutting—to the precise, minimally invasive treatment of bone tissue and orthopedic cement. This research opened new avenues for surgical techniques that reduce thermal damage and improve cutting accuracy compared to traditional mechanical saws and drills. Her work is notable for bridging engineering and clinical practice, demonstrating how industrial processes can be safely translated into surgical tools. Lampe's studies have influenced subsequent developments in robotic-assisted orthopedic surgery and are frequently cited by researchers exploring alternative cutting modalities for joint replacement and fracture repair.
