Association of the Posterior Acromion Extension with Glenoid Retroversion: A CT Study in Normal and Osteoarthritic Shoulders

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Patrick Goetti, Frédéric Vauclair

Posterior eccentric glenoid wear is associated with higher complication rates after shoulder arthroplasty. The recently reported association between the acromion shape and glenoid retroversion in both normal and osteoarthritic shoulders remains controversi ...

Evaluation and robotic simulation of the glenohumeral joint

Matteo Mancuso

The shoulder is the joint with the largest range of motion in the human body. It is composed of three articulations, the glenohumeral articulation providing about two thirds of its mobility which is, also the most complex and fragile of the three. For this ...

Tribocorrosion of passive metals in the mixed lubrication regime: theoretical model and application to metal-on-metal artificial hip joints

Stefano Mischler, Shoufan Cao

Wear is a key problem limiting the lifetime and performance of total hip arthroplasty. The synovial fluid, acting as lubricant, can alleviate the wear of implants but also introduces corrosion. The interaction of mechanical wear and electrochemical corrosi ...

Effect of Patient Specific Parameters on Degenerative Shoulder Diseases

Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Osteoarthritis and rotator cuff tears are two common and wide spread shoulder diseases leading to significant restrictions in the daily life of the affected. The pathogenesis is not fully understood yet. A chronic process triggered by multiple causes is as ...

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 ...

Effect of a pathological scapular tilt after total shoulder arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron

Total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) is an accepted and most successfully used treatment for different shoulder pathologies. Different risk factors for the failure of the prosthesis are known. A pathological scapular orientation, observed in elderly people or ...

Biomechanical Aspects of Osteogenesis in Load-Bearing Tissue Engineering Scaffolds

Alireza Roshan Ghias

There is increasing evidence that mechanical stimulation affects the fate of tissue engineering scaffolds. In clinical situations, it is critical to accelerate bone formation inside the scaffold to reduce the recovery time and increase the chance of succes ...

Tightening force and torque of nonlocking screws in a reverse shoulder prosthesis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini, Miguel Gortchacow, Stephanie Kochbeck

Background. Reversed shoulder arthroplasty is an accepted treatment for glenohumeral arthritis associated to rotator cuff deficiency. For most reversed shoulder prostheses, the baseplate of the glenoid component is uncemented and its primary stability is p ...

Outcome evaluation in shoulder surgery using 3D kinematics sensors

Kamiar Aminian, Brian Coley, Alain Farron

A new method of scoring systems for the functional assessment of the shoulder is presented. 3D accelerometers and gyroscopes attached on the humerus were used to differentiate a healthy from a painful shoulder. The method was first tested on 10 healthy vol ...
