Ectopic tissue engineered ligament with silk collagen scaffold for ACL regeneration: A preliminary study

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction remains a formidable clinical challenge because of the lack of vascularization and adequate cell numbers in the joint cavity. In this study, we developed a novel strategy to mimic the early stage of repair in ...

A patient-specific model of total knee arthroplasty to estimate patellar strain: A case study

Kamiar Aminian, Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Adeliya Latypova

Inappropriate patellar cut during total knee arthroplasty can lead to patellar complications due to increased bone strain. In this study, we evaluated patellar bone strain of a patient who had a deeper patellar cut than the recommended. A patient-specific ...

Engineered acellular collagen scaffold for endogenous cell guidance, a novel approach in urethral regeneration

Peter Frey, Jeffrey Alan Hubbell, Hans Mattias Larsson, Elif Vardar, Kalitha Pinnagoda, Ganesh Vythilingam

The treatment of congenital malformations or injuries of the urethra using existing autologous tissues can be associated with post-operative complications. Using rat-tail collagen, we have engineered an acellular high-density collagen tube. These tubes wer ...

Numerical model of Total Knee Replacement replicating chair rising

Tshahé Auria Anongba Varela

Although the procedure of total knee replacement (TKR) has been improved for the last decades, patients may still face postoperative complications. Specially, causes of complications related to patellar resurfacing, such as osteonecrosis, patellar bone fra ...

Smart instrumentation for determination of ligament stiffness and ligament balance in total knee arthroplasty

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli, Arash Arami, Willyan Hasenkamp Carreira

Ligament balance is an important and subjective task performed during total knee arthroplasty (TKA) procedure. For this reason, it is desirable to develop instruments to quantitatively assess the soft-tissue balance since excessive imbalance can accelerate ...

Outcome of Unilateral Ankle Arthrodesis and Total Ankle Replacement in Terms of Bilateral Gait Mechanics, Journal of Orthopaedic Research, in Press

Kamiar Aminian, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani

Previous studies assessed the outcome of ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR) surgeries; however, the extent of postoperative recovery towards bilateral gait mechanics (BGM) is unknown. We evaluated the outcome of the two surgeries at l ...

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 ...

Development of patient-specific numerical musculoskeletal model to assess patellar resurfacing

Francesc Levrero Florencio

Osteoarthritis is the most common joint disease, with the knee being the most commonly affected joint. It is usually found in elder population, affecting more than a third of the people aged over 65 years old. Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is the most sati ...

Development of a musculoskeletal model of the knee joint to predict articular contact patterns during a loaded squat movement

Alexandra Stephanie Krause

Computational models are a current way to study specific behavior of healthy or pathological tissue or the mechanics of joints. Simulating the native anatomical structures and kinematics are two of the most important tasks to achieve reliable results. It i ...

Dislocation in total knee arthroplasty

Aurélien Gallice

Mobile-bearing total knee arthroplasty has potential advantages over fixed- bearing prostheses that may lead to an improvement of the range of motion and inferior long-term polyethylene wear. However, the potential disadvantages include the dislocation of ...
