Injectable calcium phosphate cement for augmentation around cancellous bone screws. In vivo biomechanical studies

In lower cancellous apparent bone density, it can be difficult to achieve adequate screw fixation and hence stable fracture fixation. Different strategies have been proposed, one of them is through augmentation using calcium phosphate cement in the region ...

Effect of recycled cellulose fibres on the properties of lightweight cement composite matrix

Karen Scrivener, Amor Guidoum, Mohamed Bentchikou

This paper discusses the results from an experimental investigation conducted to study the effect on using cellulose fibres as cement replacement on the properties of lightweight cement composite. The fibres were recycled from waste paper and packaging and ...

Development of patient-specific numerical musculoskeletal model to assess patellar resurfacing

Francesc Levrero Florencio

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, with the knee being the most commonly affected joint. It is usually found in elder population, affecting more than a third of the people aged over 65 years old. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most sati ...

Accurate Internal-External Rotation Measurement in Total Knee Prostheses: a magnetic solution

Kamiar Aminian, Jenifer Cléa Miehlbradt, Arash Arami

In this work we tackled the problem of accurate measurement of internal–external (IE) rotations in the prosthetic knee. We presented a magnetic measurement system to be implanted in the knee prostheses in order to measure IE without soft tissue artifacts. ...

A new technique to measure micromotion distribution around a cementless femoral stem

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Miguel Gortchacow

The interfacial micromotion is closely associated to the long-term success of cementless hip prostheses. Various techniques have been proposed to measure them, but only a few number of points over the stem surface can be measured simultaneously. In this pa ...

Combined effects of zoledronate and mechanical stimulation on bone adaptation in an axially loaded mouse tibia

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

Background: Local bisphosphonate delivery may be a solution to prevent periprosthetic bone loss and improve orthopedic implants fixation. In load-bearing implants, periprosthetic bone is exposed to high mechanical demands, which in normal conditions induce ...

Effect of Micromotion on Morphogen Dynamics in Peri-Implant Healing

Miguel Gortchacow

The primary stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. We know that the healing phase after surgery is a complex biological process, which is affected by the mechanical environment. Implant lo ...

Decellularized bovine IVD used as a scaffold for Tissue Engineering

Philippe Abdel Sayed

Currently several choices of scaffolds exist for tissue engineering purposes. Whereas a lot of works are done in the development of new material and hydrogels, very few efforts are spent for using decellularized ECM as scaffold for intervertebral disc repl ...
