Residual hip dysplasia in children: osseous and cartilaginous acetabular angles to guide further treatment-a pilot study

Purpose In case of residual hip dysplasia (RHD) in children, pelvic radiographs are sometimes insufficient to precisely evaluate the entire coverage of the femoral head, when trying to decide on the need for further reconstructive procedures. Methods This ...

Biomechanical effects of passive hip springs during walking

Passive spring-like structures can store and return energy during cyclic movements and thereby reduce the energetic cost of locomotion. That makes them important components of the human body and wearable assistive devices alike. This study investigates how ...

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 ...

Impact of the Femoral Head Position on Moment Arms in Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Parametric Finite Element Study

Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Parvex

Background: Although the importance of accurate femoral reconstruction to achieve a good functional outcome is well documented, quantitative data on the effects of a displacement of the femoral center of rotation on moment arms are scarce. The purpose of t ...

Impact of individual anatomy on the benefit of cup medialisation in total hip arthroplasty

Alexandre Terrier, Hannes Andreas Rüdiger, Valérie Parvex

Introduction: In total hip arthroplasty, cup medialisation with compensatory increase of femoral offset has been proposed to increase the moment arms of abductor muscles. However, this technique is associated with a loss of acetabular bone stock. Previous ...

Benefit of Cup Medialization in Total Hip Arthroplasty is Associated With Femoral Anatomy

Alexandre Terrier, Francesc Levrero Florencio

Medialization of the cup with a respective increase in femoral offset has been proposed in THA to increase abductor moment arms. Insofar as there are potential disadvantages to cup medialization, it is important to ascertain whether the purported biomechan ...

FPM SIMULATIONS OF A HIGH SPEED WATER JET VALIDATION WITH CFD AND EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS

François Avellan, Ebrahim Jahanbakhsh, Christian Vessaz

The present paper reports the development of Finite Particle Method (FPM) in the framework of a high-speed water jet simulation. The FPM kernel is used to improve the consistency of standard SPH for non-uniform particle distribution. The time integration i ...

Sensitivity of hip tissues contact evaluation to the methods used for estimating the hip joint center of rotation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic, Jérôme Schmid, Ehsan Arbabi

Computer-based simulations of human hip joints generally include investigating contacts happening among soft or hard tissues during hip movement. In many cases, hip movement is approximated as rotation about an estimated hip center. In this paper, we inves ...

Importance of polyethylene thickness in total shoulder arthroplasty: A finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Vittoria Brighenti

Background: Articular surfaces reconstruction is essential in total shoulder arthroplasty. Because of the limited glenoid bone support, thin glenoid component could improve anatomical reconstruction, but adverse mechanical effects might appear. Methods: Wi ...

Finite element analysis of knee squat with an osteochondral defect

Ernst Remij

In this work a 3D musculoskeletal model of the knee joint, that can simulate a squat movement, has been developed. Such a model would be useful to understand the biomechanics of the knee. The model consisted of all the the bones with their articular surfac ...
