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

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 ...

Robotic system for cervical spine surgery

Charles Baur

Background In contemporary surgical clinical practice, spinal instability is often treated with mechanical stabilization techniques in order to protect the spinal cord and nerve roots. These techniques involve placing screws in defined regions of the verte ...

Prediction of spatio-temporal bone formation in scaffold by diffusion equation

Dominique Pioletti, Arne Christian Vogel, Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo, Alireza Roshan Ghias

Developing a successful bone tissue engineering strategy entails translation of experimental findings to clinical needs. A major leap forward towards this goal is developing a quantitative tool to predict spatial and temporal bone formation in scaffold. We ...

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 ...

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 ...

Laser-Doppler flowmetry at large interoptode spacing in human tibia diaphysis: Monte Carlo simulations and preliminary experimental results

Dimitri Nestor Alice Van De Ville

Laser-Doppler flowmetry (LDF) is an outstanding tool to monitor blood flow in a continuous and non-invasive way. In this work, we study LDF at large interoptode spacing applied to a human bone model (i.e. tibia diaphysis). To that aim, we first performed a ...

Analysis of inter-segment coordination during the take-off of ski jumping

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Julien Chardonnens

In ski jumping, take-off (TO) is considered as the most important phase. While spatio-temporal features have been identified during this phase, inter-segment coordination has never been investigated. This study proposed a new method using body worn inertia ...

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 ...

Correlative joint definition for motion analysis and animation

Daniel Thalmann, Anders Sandholm

In this paper we address the problem of creating accurate joint models from real motions while allowing scalability. We propose an automatic method to model, scale, and simulate non-idealized joints from the external motion of markers. We demonstrate the m ...
