Total Hip Replacement (THR) is today a routine procedure executed more than 800'000 times per year worldwide. THR gives generally satisfactory results, although the quality of outcome is inversely proportional to the age of the patient. In parallel, there ...
A numerical model of the medial open wedge tibial osteotomy based on the finite element method was developed. Two plate positions were tested numerically. In a configuration, (a), the plate was fixed in a medial position and (b) in an anteromedial position ...
In this paper, two brittle fracture problems are numerically simulated: the failure of a ceramic ring under centrifugal loading and crack branching in a PMMA strip. A three-dimensional finite element package in which cohesive elements are dynamically inser ...
Properties of the organic matrix of bone(1) as well as its function in the microstructure(2) could be the key to the remarkable mechanical properties of bone(3). Previously, it was found that on the molecular level, calcium-mediated sacrificial bonds incre ...
We present a new contour segmentation method for femoral head detection in CT images. The principal idea underlying our approach is to represent the contour using active rays. Each ray has internal energy (continuity and smoothness constraints), as well as ...
This article addresses visualization of deformation or shape differences between bones while conventional visualization techniques are often about a single bone such as its 3D reconstruction. Given a pair of bones with a set of corresponding anatomical lan ...
The cement for surgical purposes includes three components. The first component includes beta tertiary calciumphosphate beta-Ca3(PO4)2(beta-TCP) particles; and monocalcium phosphate Ca(H2PO4)2(MCPA) or monocalcium phosphate monohydrate Ca(H2PO4).H2O (MCPM) ...
