Advantages of patient-specific cutting guides with disposable instrumentation in total knee arthroplasty: a case control study
BackgroundTotal knee arthroplasty (TKA) is most frequently planned using conventional two-dimensional weight-bearing lower limb radiographs and is performed with conventional femoral and tibial cutting guides. Questions have been raised about the accuracy ...
BMC2021Patellar bone strain after total knee arthroplasty is correlated with bone mineral density and body mass index
Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova, Elham Taghizadeh, Philippe Büchler
Patella-related complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain a major clinical concern. Previous studies have suggested that increased postoperative patellar bone strain could be related to such complications, but there is limited knowledge on p ...
2019Sensory feedback restoration in leg amputees improves walking speed, metabolic cost and phantom pain
Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Giacomo Valle, Federica Barberi, Dario Bortolotti
Conventional leg prostheses do not convey sensory information about motion or interaction with the ground to aboveknee amputees, thereby reducing confidence and walking speed in the users that is associated with high mental and physical fatigue(1-4). The l ...
2019The Myosuit: Bi-articular Anti-gravity Exosuit That Reduces Hip Extensor Activity in Sitting Transfers
Muscle weakness—which can result from neurological injuries, genetic disorders, or typical aging—can affect a person's mobility and quality of life. For many people with muscle weakness, assistive devices provide the means to regain mobility and independen ...
2017A 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 ...
Elsevier2016A patient-specific numerical musculoskeletal knee model
Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is a well-accepted surgical treatment of severe cases of osteoarthritis. Surgery is associated with improved pain level, knee function and health-related quality of life. Despite advances in surgical techniques and implant des ...
EPFL2015The In-Vivo Use of Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles to Detect Inflammation Elicits a Cytokine Response but Does Not Aggravate Experimental Arthritis
Heinrich Hofmann, Lionel André Maurizi
Background Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide Nanoparticles (SPION) are used in diagnostic imaging of a variety of different diseases. For such in-vivo application, an additional coating with a polymer, for example polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), is needed to stabilize ...
Public Library of Science2015Numerical model of the ankle joint for the study of total ankle replacement
Total ankle replacement (TAR) is a successful short-term procedure but after ten years the implants have low survival rates involving numerous complications. Today the mechanism that leads to the failure of TAR remains unclear. Therefore there is a need a ...
2013Development of patient-specific numerical musculoskeletal model to assess patellar resurfacing
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 ...
2012Multi-segment foot kinematics after total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis during relatively long-distance gait
Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Xavier Crevoisier, Hossein Rouhani
This study aimed to investigate the influence of ankle osteoarthritis (AOA) treatments, i.e., ankle arthrodesis (AA) and total ankle replacement (TAR), on the kinematics of multi-segment foot and ankle complex during relatively long-distance gait.Forty-fiv ...
