Amputation and prosthesis implantation shape body and peripersonal space representations

Andrea Serino, Elisa Canzoneri

Little is known about whether and how multimodal representations of the body (BRs) and of the space around the body (Peripersonal Space, PPS) adapt to amputation and prosthesis implantation. In order to investigate this issue, we tested BR in a group of up ...

A review of different techniques to characterise the mechanical properties of SLS parts - focus on resistivity measurements

Rémy Glardon, Jamasp Jhabvala, Eric Boillat, Marc Matthey, Dylan Fivat

As SLS has now been established as a rapid freeform fabrication technique in a growing application field (aerospace, tooling, bone and dental implants etc.), one feels more severely the lack of non-destructive, reliable and recognised diagnostic methods fo ...

A numerical model of the ankle to analyze joint prostheses

Valérie Parvex

The ankle is one of the most injured joint in the body. However, it remains a new field of study in biomedical orthopedics. With the increased life span, more people suffer from arthosis and joint problems. That is why the improvements done in arthroplasty ...

Simulation of total ankle replacement using numerical modeling

Sara Molins Cabaní

The ankle is a complex joint of the human body which is most often affected by trauma. Osteoarthritis is a joint disease that can require surgical intervention and when it affects the ankle there are two options to achieve pain relief. For years ankle fusi ...

Postoperative scapula fracture after reversed shoulder arthroplasty

Julien Ston

Reversed shoulder arthroplasty (RSA) is recommended in case of severe muscle deficiency, along with important joint wear. Although having a correct placement of the prosthesis after the operation and a recovery of the mobility, several cases of scapula fra ...

Numerical analysis of a 3-screws baseplate for reverse shoulder arthroplasty

Anouk Grandgeorge

Reverse shoulder arthroplasty has become the classical treatment for glenohumeral joint arthritis associated with rotator cuff dysfunction. The design of the prosthesis, the fixation of the implant and the surgical technique are however still to be improve ...

Comparison of polyethylene wear in anatomical and reversed shoulder prostheses

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini

Wear of polyethylene is associated with aseptic loosening of orthopaedic implants and has been observed in hip and knee prostheses and anatomical implants for the shoulder. The reversed shoulder prostheses have not been assessed as yet. We investigated the ...

Simulated joint and muscle forces in reversed and anatomic shoulder prostheses

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini, Adrian Reist

Reversed shoulder prostheses are increasingly being used for the treatment of glenohumeral arthropathy associated with a deficient rotator cuff. These non-anatomical implants attempt to balance the joint forces by means of a semi-constrained articular surf ...

Biphasic constitutive laws for biological interface evolution

Dominique Pioletti, Lalaonirina Rakotomanana Ravelonarivo, Philippe Büchler

A model of tissue differentiation at the bone-implant interface is proposed. The basic hypothesis of the model is that the mechanical environment determines the tissue differentiation. The stimulus chosen is related to the bone-implant micromotions. Equati ...
