Efficient decellularization of equine tendon with preserved biomechanical properties and cytocompatibility for human tendon surgery indications

Dominique Pioletti, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Nathalie Hirt-Burri, Jens Antons, Anthony Grognuz, Pierre-Arnaud Aeberhard

Chronic and acute tendon injuries are frequent afflictions, for which treatment is often long and unsatisfactory. When facing extended injuries, matrices and scaffolds with sufficient biomechanical properties are required for surgical repair and could addi ...

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 ...

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 ...

Cement stress predictions after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty are correlated with preoperative glenoid bone quality

Alexandre Terrier, Alain Farron, Raphaël Rodolphe Obrist

Hypothesis: We hypothesized that biomechanical parameters typically associated with glenoid implant failure after anatomic total shoulder arthroplasty (aTSA) would be correlated with preoperative glenoid bone quality. Methods: We developed an objective aut ...

Identification of elastic properties of human patellae using micro-finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Adeliya Latypova

Current homogenized finite element (hFE) models of the patella lack a validated material law and mostly overlook trabecular anisotropy. The objective of this study was to identify the elastic constants of patellar trabecular bone. Using mu CT scans of 20 f ...

Sagittal plane blocade in patients with Functional Hallux Limitus:a multisegment model analysis of the Flexor Hallucis Longus endoscopic tenolysis

Kamiar Aminian, Hossein Rouhani, Arash Arami

Functional Hallux Limitus (FHL) is a relatively unknown clinical entity in which dorsal flexion of the first metatarsophalangeal joint is restricted during final stance phase, derailing the three mechanisms of foot stabilization 1. The close packing of the ...

Injectable calcium phosphate cement for augmentation around cancellous bone screws. In vivo biomechanical studies

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

In lower cancellous apparent bone density, it can be difficult to achieve adequate screw fixation and hence stable fracture fixation. Different strategies have been proposed, one of them is through augmentation using calcium phosphate cement in the region ...

Sensitivity of hip tissues contact evaluation to the methods used for estimating the hip joint center of rotation

Daniel Thalmann, Ronan Boulic

Computer-based simulations of human hip joints generally include investigating contacts happening among soft or hard tissues during hip movement. In many cases, hip movement is approximated as rotation about an estimated hip center. In this paper, we inves ...

Implementation of the "loaded implant" model in the rat using a miniaturized setup - description of the method and first results

John Botsis, Joël Cugnoni

Objective To miniaturize the loaded implant model to permit its application to small rodents. In this model, two titanium implants are placed 8 mm apart with their heads protruding from the skin and are forced together by a dedicated actuator. To assess th ...

Combined effects of zoledronate and mechanical stimulation on bone adaptation in an axially loaded mouse tibia

Dominique Pioletti, Vincent Stadelmann

Background: Local bisphosphonate delivery may be a solution to prevent periprosthetic bone loss and improve orthopedic implants fixation. In load-bearing implants, periprosthetic bone is exposed to high mechanical demands, which in normal conditions induce ...

Surgical preparation of bone-scaffold interface is critical for bone regeneration inside tissue engineering scaffold

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

The goal of this study was to investigate if the preparation of implantation site has an impact on bone formation inside tissue engineering scaffolds. For this purpose, two different drilling techniques were used to create a hole in distal femurs of rats b ...

Calcium phosphate cement augmentation of cancellous bone screws can compensate for the absence of cortical fixation

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann

An obvious means to improve the fixation of a cancellous bone screw is to augment the surrounding bone with cement. Previous studies have shown that bone augmentation with Calcium Phosphate (CaP) cement significantly improves screw fixation. Nevertheless, ...

Differential influence of hands posture on mental rotation of hands and feet in left and right handers

Olaf Blanke, Silvio Ionta

The representation of the body in the brain is continuously updated with regard to peripheral factors such as position or movement of body parts. In the present study, we investigated the effects of arm posture on the mental rotation of hands and feet. Six ...

Prevention of micromotion-related periprosthetic bone loss using local release of bisphosphonate : theoretical developments and experimental validations

Vincent Stadelmann

Total joint replacements are highly successful in relieving pain and restoring movement of damaged joints. However, the lifespan of the implants is limited. The implant's long-term stability depends largely on the preservation of periprosthetic bone. Debri ...
