Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Peter Ryser, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

Translation of biomechanical concepts in bone tissue engineering: from animal study to revision knee arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Alireza Roshan Ghias

Bone defects in revision knee arthroplasty (RKA) are often located in load-bearing regions. The goal of this study was to determine if a physiologic load could be used as an in situ osteogenic signal to the scaffolds filling the bone defects. In order to a ...

Smart instrumentation for determination of ligament stiffness and ligament balance in total knee arthroplasty

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira

Ligament balance is an important and subjective task performed during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. For this reason, it is desirable to develop instruments to quantitatively assess the soft-tissue balance since excessive imbalance can accelerate ...

Influence of the patellofemoral ligaments on the patellar kinematics after TKA during squat movement

Corinne Moënnat

Osteoarthritis is a degenerative disease characterized by damage of the cartilage. A solution to this problem is total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, there is still complication after total knee arthroplasty with patella resurfacing. In fact, most patel ...

ITER ECH&CD Upper Launcher: Design options and Remote Handling issues of the waveguide assembly

Timothy Goodman, René Chavan

The ITER Electron Cyclotron Heating and Current Drive Upper Launcher, developed by the ECHUL-CA Consortium of Euratom Associations (CRPP, CNR, ITER-NL, IPF, IPP, KIT and Politecnico di Milano), is presently in its final design phase. The study presented he ...

Does locally delivered Zoledronate influence peri-implant bone formation? – Spatio-temporal monitoring of bone remodeling in vivo

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Julien Ston

Bisphosphonates are known for their strong inhibitory effect on bone resorption. Their influence on bone formation however is less clear. In this study we investigated the spatio-temporal effect of locally delivered Zoledronate on peri-implant bone formati ...

Mechanisms of hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity: An atomistic study using alpha-Fe as a model system

William Curtin

Atomistic simulations of the effects of H on edge dislocation mobility and pile-ups are performed to investigate possible nanoscale mechanisms for hydrogen-enhanced localized plasticity (HELP). alpha-Fe is used as a model system because H diffusion is fast ...

Stable Myoelectric Control of a Hand Prosthesis using Non-Linear Incremental Learning

Barbara Caputo

Stable myoelectric control of hand prostheses remains an open problem. The only successful human–machine interface is surface electromyography, typically allowing control of a few degrees of freedom. Machine learning techniques may have the potential to re ...

Exploratory experimental investigations on post-tensioned structural glass beams

Jean-Paul Lebet, Pieter Christian Louter, Jagoda Cupac

The mechanical response of post-tensioned glass beams is explored in this paper. This is done through bending experiments on post-tensioned glass beam specimens with either mechanically anchored or adhesively bonded steel tendons by which a beneficial pre- ...

Relationship between interfacial micromotion and bone density around cementless hip implant

Valérie Parvex

The hip is one of the most injured joint in the body with ageing. Osteoarthritis and degenerative diseases often lead to the necessity of a total hip arthroplasty in order to reduce pain and increase mobility. The advantage of cementless implants resides i ...
