Prophylactic vertebroplasty, the percutaneous injection of bone cement into a weak vertebral body (VB), has been shown to reinforce the bone and possibly to minimize fracture risks. Cement leakage is still a common occurrence that can cause severe complica ...
The aim of this study was to analyze the accuracy of bone pose estimation based on sub-clusters of three skin-markers characterized by triangular Cosserat point elements (TCPEs) and to evaluate the capability of four instantaneous physical parameters, whic ...
Total hip replacement, which is a successful solution for restoring movement to damaged joints, becomes nowadays a common surgical procedure. However the lifespan of hip implants is limited, because of pathologic strain distribution in bone inducing bone-r ...
Osteoporosis is a major health problem in our aging society. This metabolic disease, which is characterized by a deterioration of the bone microarchitecture and a significant loss of bone mass, is affecting a rising number of mostly elderly patients. The m ...
The study aim was to quantify the individual and combined contributions of both the arterial system and the heart to systolic blood pressure in hypertension. We assessed the parameters of a heart-arterial model for normotensive control subjects and hyperte ...
The nuclear protein c-Myc is one of the most potent proto-oncogenes described. Its expression is found to be deregulated in more than 50 percent of human cancers, where it has been shown to control a number of biological processes including driving prolife ...
After cemented total hip arthroplasty (THA) there may be failure at either the cement-stem or the cement-bone interface. This results from the occurrence of abnormally high shear and compressive stresses within the cement and excessive relative micromoveme ...
The aim of this investigation was to test the biocompatibility of three-dimensional bioresorbable foams made of poly(L-lactic acid) (PLA), alone or filled with hydroxyapatite (HA) or beta-tricalcium phosphate (beta-TCP), with human primary osteoblasts, usi ...
Motivated by applications in orthopaedic and maxillo-facial surgery, the mechanical behaviour of cortical bone in cyclic overloads at physiological strain rates is investigated. To this end, a new one-dimensional rate-independent constitutive model for com ...
