Causal associations between scapular morphology and shoulder condition estimated with Bayesian statistics

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Büchler

Background and Objective: While there is a reported correlation between shoulder condition and scapular morphology, the precise impact of typical anatomical variables remains a subject of ongoing debate. This study aimed to evaluate this causal association ...

Glenohumeral joint force prediction with deep learning

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Patrick Goetti, Philippe Büchler

Deep learning models (DLM) are efficient replacements for computationally intensive optimization techniques. Musculoskeletal models (MSM) typically involve resource-intensive optimization processes for determining joint and muscle forces. Consequently, DLM ...

Age- and sex-specific normative values of bone mineral density in the adult glenoid

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair, Philippe Büchler

The objective of this study was to determine the normative bone mineral density (BMD) of cortical and trabecular bone regions in the adult glenoid and its dependence on the subject's age and sex. We analyzed computed tomography (CT) scans of 441 shoulders ...

Deep learning for the rapid automatic quantification and characterization of rotator cuff muscle degeneration from shoulder CT datasets

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler

Objectives This study aimed at developing a convolutional neural network (CNN) able to automatically quantify and characterize the level of degeneration of rotator cuff (RC) muscles from shoulder CT images including muscle atrophy and fatty infiltration. M ...

Automated CT bone segmentation using statistical shape modelling and local template matching

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler

Accurate CT bone segmentation is essential to develop chair-side manufacturing of implants based on additive manufacturing. We herewith present an automated method able to accurately segment challenging bone regions, while simultaneously providing anatomic ...

Patellar bone strain after total knee arthroplasty is correlated with bone mineral density and body mass index

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler

Patella-related complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain a major clinical concern. Previous studies have suggested that increased postoperative patellar bone strain could be related to such complications, but there is limited knowledge on p ...

A statistical shape model to predict the premorbid glenoid cavity

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Steve Michel Berger, Daniel Abler, Philippe Büchler

Background: This study proposes a method for inferring the premorbid glenoid shape and orientation of scapulae affected by glenohumeral osteoarthritis (OA) to inform restorative surgery. ...

Bone-cement interface of the glenoid component: stress analysis for varying cement thickness

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Büchler

BACKGROUND: Although shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for osteoarthritis, loosening of the glenoid component, which mainly occurs at the bone-cement interface, remains a major concern. Presently, the mechanical effect of the cement mantel thi ...
