![]() The majority of the last two weeks of holiday break was spent learning more about 3D imaging software and femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). The dimensions of the superior femoral head could most likely be compiled into a research assessment on its own. I will be able to apply what I learn from my meeting with Dr. Wells and Mr. Chatzinoff to my own case study in my original work. Last week, Dr. Wells agreed to be my mentor. I am very thankful to be following in the footsteps of a professional, especially one who is very welcoming and willing to help. In our next meeting , he gave me a hip prosthesis to use on Research Showcase on January 18th. In addition, he walked through how to properly take measurements of the femoral head of a patient with cam-type FAI. As of now, I have found the alpha angle, femoral head-neck offset, neck-shaft angle, diameter of the femoral head, and length of femoral neck. Finally, I need to take screenshots of my findings and compile it into a report for Showcase. In addition, I need to finish creating my presentation board. It has already been peer-reviewed by my classmates. I hope to present both 3D and 2D models with interactive tablets that are fixated into the board themselves. My goals for next week are to build the board without any complications. The art of writing is the art of discovering what you believe. - Gustave Flaubert
