Overcorrected Implants for Total Shoulder Arthroplasty
Glenohumeral osteoarthritis is a degenerative shoulder joint disease, which causes the breakdown of articular cartilage and bone. People affected by this disease suffer from severe pain and eventually reduced mobility and poor life quality. This disease is ...
EPFL2021In vitro and in vivo investigation of bisphosphonate-loaded hydroxyapatite particles for peri-implant bone augmentation
Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger
Locally applied bisphosphonates, such as Zoledronate, have been shown in several studies to inhibit peri-implant bone resorption and recently to enhance peri-implant bone formation. Studies have also demonstrated positive effects of hydroxyapatite particle ...
Wiley-Blackwell2017Micromotion and fluid flow around cementless femoral components in total hip arthroplasty
Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine
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 ...
EPFL2016Finite element modelling of the bone-implant interface and experimental validation
Excessive interfacial micromotion endangers the implant primary stability by favoring the formation of a fibrous tissue layer at the bone-implant interface. It was recently proposed that implant micromotion induces fluid flow in the granulation tissue that ...
2015Development of a Bisphosphonate Delivering Hydrogel for the Augmentation of Impaired Peri-Implant Bone
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 ...
EPFL2014Micromotion measurement around femoral stem for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty
The primary stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. The mechanisms which influence this stability are not yet well understood. However, mechanical environment in peri-implant tissue is know ...
