Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Peter Ryser, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

Design and integration of an instrumented knee prosthesis

Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is nowadays one of the most important orthopedic surgery. It consists of a procedure in which parts of the knee are replaced by a prosthesis. The largest indication for total knee arthroplasty is osteoarthritis, a knee disease that ...

Instrumented Knee Prosthesis for Force and Kinematics Measurements

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Pierre-André Farine, Peter Ryser, Catherine Dehollain, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Eric Meurville, Arash Arami, Steve Tanner

In this work, we present the general concept of an instrumented smart knee prosthesis for in-vivo measurement of forces and kinematics. This system can be used for early monitoring of the patient after implantation and prevent possible damage to the prosth ...

Instrumented Prosthesis for Knee Implants Monitoring

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Pierre-André Farine, Peter Ryser, Catherine Dehollain, Arnaud Bertsch, Eric Meurville, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Steve Tanner

In this work we present an instrumented smart knee prosthesis for in-vivo measurement of forces and kinematics. Studying the constraints, we designed minimal sensory systems to be placed in the polyethylene part of the prosthesis. The magnetic sensors and ...
