Knee adduction moment decomposition: Toward better clinical decision-making

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Robin Martin

Knee adduction moment (KAM) is correlated with the progression of medial knee osteoarthritis (OA). Although a generic gait modification can reduce the KAM in some patients, it may have a reverse effect on other patients. We proposed the "decomposed ground ...

Advantages of patient-specific cutting guides with disposable instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty: a case control study

BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is most frequently planned using conventional two-dimensional weight-bearing lower limb radiographs and is performed with conventional femoral and tibial cutting guides. Questions have been raised about the accuracy ...

Design of a measuring device for Mallet Finger treatment

Khawla Belqadhi

A mallet finger is an injury that affects the extensor tendon at the Distal interphalangeal joint (DIP). It results from a hyperflexion of the said tendon which can result in a stretching or tearing of the tendon or an avulsion of the tendon’s insertion on ...

In vivo loading increases mechanical properties of scaffold by affecting bone formation and bone resorption rates

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

A successful bone tissue engineering strategy entails producing bone-scaffold construct with adequate mechanical properties. Apart from the mechanical properties of the scaffold itself, the forming bone inside the scaffold also adds to the strength of the ...

Surgical preparation of bone-scaffold interface is critical for bone regeneration inside tissue engineering scaffold

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

The goal of this study was to investigate if the preparation of implantation site has an impact on bone formation inside tissue engineering scaffolds. For this purpose, two different drilling techniques were used to create a hole in distal femurs of rats b ...

Biomechanical Aspects of Osteogenesis in Load-Bearing Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Alireza Roshan Ghias

There is increasing evidence that mechanical stimulation affects the fate of tissue engineering scaffolds. In clinical situations, it is critical to accelerate bone formation inside the scaffold to reduce the recovery time and increase the chance of succes ...

Augmentation of bone defect healing using a new biocomposite scaffold: an in vivo study in sheep

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Previous studies support resorbable biocomposites made of poly L-lactic acid (PLA) and β-tricalcium phosphate (TCP) produced by supercritical gas foaming as a suitable scaffold for tissue engineering. The present study was undertaken to demonstrate the bio ...

Design of patient-specific cutting guides for trochleoplasty

Khawla Belqadhi, Gauvain Théo Rudler, Marc Mato Sabat, Martí Llairó Bargués, Corentin Patrick Cyprien Némoz, Benjamin Previdoli

Trochlear dysplasia is an anatomic anomaly of the knee that is characterized by an abnormal geometry of the trochlea. The normal shape of the trochlea is concave, but when the trochlea is flat, the patient may experience knee pain, instability and a higher ...
