A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

Degradation of modular hip joint implants

Angela Bermudez Castañeda

Total hip joint arthroplasty is a medical procedure to replace a natural failed joint by an artificial joint to improve the quality of life of the patient. In spite of its broad success, there is a concern about the relation between the presence of modular ...

SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS OF A PATIENT SPECIFIC FINITE ELEMENT MODEL FOR SHOULDER ARTHOPLASTY

Gerard Guell Bartrina

Background Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is common degenerative disease within the elderly population, which causes pain and reduced mobility. In advanced cases, total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is usually performed. Although TSA is an established procedure ...

Total hip arthroplasty using a cementless dual-mobility cup provides increased stability and favorable gait parameters at five years follow-up

Kamiar Aminian

Rates of dislocation following primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) vary from 0.5 to 10%. Dual-mobility cups in THA demonstrate increased stability. Clinical outcomes following THA with dual-mobility cups have been reported, but gait has not been assessed. ...

Importance of trabecular anisotropy in finite element predictions of patellar strain after Total Knee Arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova

Patellar fracture and anterior knee pain remain major complications after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Patient-specific finite element (FE) models should help improve understanding of these complications through estimation of joint and bone mechanics. Ho ...

Effect of changes of femoral offset on abductor and joint reaction forces in total hip arthroplasty

Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger, Maïka Réane Guillemin

Anatomical reconstruction in total hip arthroplasty (THA) allows for physiological muscle function, good functional outcome and implant longevity. Quantitative data on the effect of a loss or gain of femoral offset (FO) are scarce. The aim of this study wa ...

Dual mobility cups provide biomechanical advantages in situations at risk for dislocation: a finite element analysis

Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Valérie Parvex, Maïka Réane Guillemin

Purpose Constrained devices, standard implants with large heads, and dual mobility systems have become popular options to manage instability after total hip arthroplasty (THA). Clinical results with these options have shown variable success rates and signi ...

OVERCORRECTED GLENOID IMPLANTS TO AVOID RECURRENT SUBLUXATION AFTER TOTAL SHOULDER ARTHROPLASTY: A PATIENT-SPECIFIC FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS

Sandro Andrin Bergamin

Hypothesis: Total shoulder arthroplasty is an efficient treatment to osteoarthritis but has a relatively high failure rate. One of the main causes were found to be glenoid loosening associated with off-center loadings. An implant with an overcorrected desi ...

Quantitative regional and sub-regional analysis of femoral and tibial subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) using computed tomography (CT): comparison of non-osteoarthritic (OA) and severe OA knees

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: This study aimed to compare subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) between non-radiographic osteoarthritic (OA) and medial femorotibial OA knees, using computed tomography (CT). Design: CT exams from 16 non-radiographic OA (KL grade < 2) and 16 ...

Rationalizing the In Vivo Degradation of Metal-on-Metal Artificial Hip Joints Using Tribocorrosion Concepts

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

In this study, the in vivo degradation of metal-on-metal (MoM) artificial hip joints was assessed based on the present state of the art concepts of tribocorrosion. A recently developed tribocorrosion model, based on the combination of mechanical and corros ...
