Fixed and mobile-bearing total ankle prostheses: Effect on tibial bone strain

Alexandre Terrier, Xavier Crevoisier, Maïka Réane Guillemin, Caroline Sieger Fernandes

Background Total ankle replacement is associated to a high revision rate. To improve implant survival, the potential advantage of prostheses with fixed bearing compared to mobile bearing is unclear. The objective of this study was to test the hypothesis th ...

Molecular dynamics simulations of the intrinsically disordered protein amelogenin

John Christopher Plummer, Matteo Gregorio Modesto Marascio, Alessandra Apicella, Vincenzo Colangelo

Amelogenin refers to a class of intrinsically disordered proteins that are the major constituents of enamel matrix derivative (EMD), an extract of porcine fetal teeth used in regenerative periodontal therapy. Modifications in molecular conformation induced ...

Importance of trabecular anisotropy in finite element predictions of patellar strain after Total Knee Arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova

Patellar fracture and anterior knee pain remain major complications after Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA). Patient-specific finite element (FE) models should help improve understanding of these complications through estimation of joint and bone mechanics. Ho ...

In vivo mechanical loading combined with cell therapy in a bone tissue engineering scaffold

Tanja Cloé Hausherr

Bone defects generate a worldwide high demand for bone repair and reconstruction. The incidence of bone defect repair in our aging society is expected to increase in the next decades. As bone auto- and allografting solutions often suffer from limited suppl ...

Effects of Grafting Density and Film Thickness on the Adhesion of Staphylococcus epidermidis to Poly(2-hydroxy ethyl methacrylate) and Poly(poly(ethylene glycol)methacrylate) Brushes

Harm-Anton Klok, Sorin Alexandru Ibanescu

Thin polymer films that prevent the adhesion of bacteria are of interest as coatings for the development of infection-resistant biomaterials. This study investigates the influence of grafting density and film thickness on the adhesion of Staphylococcus epi ...

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 ...

Biomechanical Role of Bone Anisotropy Estimated on Clinical CT Scans by Image Registration

Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler

Image-based modeling is a popular approach to perform patient-specific biomechanical simulations. Accurate modeling is critical for orthopedic application to evaluate implant design and surgical planning. It has been shown that bone strength can be estimat ...

Variability of the pullout strength of cancellous bone screws with cement augmentation

Dominique Pioletti

Background: orthopaedic surgeons often face clinical situations where improved screw holding power in cancellous bone is needed. Injectable calcium phosphate cements are one option to enhance fixation. Methods: paired screw pullout tests were undertaken in ...
