Relationships between cartilage thickness and subchondral bone mineral density in non-osteoarthritic and severely osteoarthritic knees: In vivo concomitant 3D analysis using CT arthrography

Julien Favre, Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

Objective: To test whether subchondral bone mineral density (sBMD) and cartilage thickness (CTh) of femoral condyles are correlated in knees without and with severe medial femorotibial osteoarthritis (OA), using a subregional analysis with computerized tom ...

A Closed-Loop EMG-Assisted Shoulder Model

Ehsan Sarshari

The human shoulder is a complex musculoskeletal system. Knowledge about its kinematics and dynamics can help improve associated treatments. However, to date direct measurements of these quantities can be only granted through invasive investigations or expe ...

Effect of a collar on subsidence and local micromotion of cementless femoral stems: in vitro comparative study based on micro-computerised tomography

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine

Purpose The aim of this study is to quantitatively compare the difference in primary stability between collarless and collared versions of the same femoral stem. Specifically, we tested differences in subsidence and micromotion. Methods Collarless and coll ...

Non-setting, injectable biomaterials containing particulate hydroxyapatite can increase primary stability of bone screws in cancellous bone

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger

BACKGROUND: Fracture fixation in weak bone is still a clinical challenge. Screw augmentation was shown to successfully increase their primary stability. The currently used calcium phosphate or polymeric bone cements, however, present important drawbacks su ...

A simulation framework for humeral head translations

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Philippe Müllhaupt, Ehsan Sarshari

Humeral head translations (HHT) play a crucial role in the glenohumeral (GH) joint function. The available shoulder musculoskeletal models developed based on inverse dynamics however fall short of predicting the HHT. This study aims at developing a simulat ...

Effects of glenoid inclination and acromion index on humeral head translation and glenoid articular cartilage strain

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Christoph Anselm Engelhardt

Previous clinical studies have reported associations between glenoid inclination (GI), the acromion index (AI), and the critical shoulder angle (CSA) on the one hand and the occurrence of glenohumeral osteoarthritis and supraspinatus tendon tears on the ot ...

Tribocorrosion under fluid lubrication : modeling wear of CoCrMo artificial hip joints

Shoufan Cao

Wear is still the key problem causing the failure and limiting the lifetime of artificial hip joints, especially for the polymer acetabular cup in the metal-on-polymer and ceramic-on-polymer articulations. To reduce the wear, metal-on-metal articulation ha ...

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 ...

Dissipation as variable in cartilage mechanobiology

Philippe Abdel Sayed

Mechanobiology is the analysis of the role of mechanical forces in educing a molecular response in cells. Nowadays, mechanobiology may contribute to clinical progress. In particular, mechanical stimulation has been proposed to induce chondrogenesis in engi ...

Dissipation Can Act as a Mechanobiological Signal in Cartilage Differentiation

Dominique Pioletti, Arne Christian Vogel, Philippe Abdel Sayed

Knee cartilage is a soft tissue having viscoelastic properties. Under cyclic loadings, viscoelastic materials dissipate mechanical loadings through heat generation. In knee cartilage, this heat might not be convected because of the tissue avascularity, res ...

Importance of the subscapularis muscle after total shoulder arthroplasty

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Valérie Hélène Emilie Malfroy Camine, Xabier Larrea

Background: The rotator cuff muscles are the main stabilizer of the glenohumeral joint. After total shoulder arthroplasty using anterior approaches, a dysfunction of the subscapularis muscle has been reported. In the present paper we tested the hypothesis ...

Importance of polyethylene thickness in total shoulder arthroplasty: A finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron

Background: Articular surfaces reconstruction is essential in total shoulder arthroplasty. Because of the limited glenoid bone support, thin glenoid component could improve anatomical reconstruction, but adverse mechanical effects might appear. Methods: Wi ...

Total shoulder arthroplasty: Downward inclination of the glenoid component to balance supraspinatus deficiency

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Francesco Merlini

Hypothesis: Supraspinatus deficiency associated with total shoulder arthroplasty (TSA) provokes eccentric loading and may induce loosening of the glenoid component. A downward inclination of the glenoid component has been proposed to balance supraspinatus ...
