Powered orthoses are leading to an imminent change in the field of assistance. The major challenges faced by the technology concern the management of the interaction between the user and the wearable device and the coordination between the user intention a ...
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 ...
Cementless total hip arthroplasty is a highly successful and reliable procedure to restore joint function and reduce pain in patients with severe osteoarthritis. Nevertheless, despite the technical advances over the last decades in the development of cemen ...
Complications related to the neck-stem junction of modular stems used for total hip arthroplasty (THA) are generating increasing concern. A 74-year-old male had increasing pain and a cutaneous reaction around the scar 1 year after THA with a modular neck-s ...
Nowadays, pain and mobility issues of the hip such as arthritis bring more and more people to go through a hip replacement. The primary stability of an implant is essential for the long-term success of hip arthroplasty. Excessive micromotion is an indicato ...
Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...
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 ...
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 ...
Long lies after a fall remain a public health challenge. Many successful fall prevention programmes have been developed but only few of them include recovery strategies after a fall. Once better understood, such movement strategies could be implemented int ...
A good implant primary stability is closely associated with long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. Excessive interfacial micromotion around the femoral component after cementless hip replacement is related to aseptic loosening of the stem and affects ...
