20 Hz X-ray tomography during an in situ tensile test

Andreas Mortensen

This paper describes an in-situ tensile test in synchrotron tomography achieved for the first time with a frequency of 20 tomograms per second (20 Hz acquisition frequency). This allows us to capture rapid material fracture processes, such as that of a met ...

Following dislocation patterning during fatigue

Helena Van Swygenhoven, Steven Van Petegem, Nicolò Grilli, Ainara Irastorza Landa

Precursors of failure are dislocation mechanisms at the nanoscale and dislocation organization at the mesoscale responsible for long-range internal stresses and lattice rotation. Detailed information on the link between both scales is missing, computationa ...

Time course of bone screw fixation following a local delivery of zoledronate in a rat femoral model – a micro-finite element analysis

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Ulrike Kettenberger, Adeliya Latypova

A good fixation of osteosynthesis implants is crucial for a successful bone healing but often difficult to achieve in osteoporotic patients. One possible solution to this issue is the local delivery of bisphosphonates in direct proximity to the implants, A ...

Development of a Bisphosphonate Delivering Hydrogel for the Augmentation of Impaired Peri-Implant Bone

Ulrike Kettenberger

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 ...

Enclosed Electronic System for Force Measurements in Knee Implants

Kamiar Aminian, Philippe Renaud, Arnaud Bertsch, Peter Ryser, Arash Arami, Eric Meurville, David Forchelet, Matteo Simoncini

Total knee arthroplasty is a widely performed surgical technique. Soft tissue force balancing during the operation relies strongly on the experience of the surgeon in equilibrating tension in the collateral ligaments. Little information on the forces in th ...

Does locally delivered Zoledronate influence peri-implant bone formation? – Spatio-temporal monitoring of bone remodeling in vivo

Dominique Pioletti, Ulrike Kettenberger, Julien Ston

Bisphosphonates are known for their strong inhibitory effect on bone resorption. Their influence on bone formation however is less clear. In this study we investigated the spatio-temporal effect of locally delivered Zoledronate on peri-implant bone formati ...

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 ...

In vivo assessment of local effects after application of bone screws delivering bisphosphonates into a compromised cancellous bone site

Dominique Pioletti, Alireza Roshan Ghias

Background: The primary stability of cancellous screw is difficult to obtain in bone of compromised quality and failure of screw fixation is common. To overcome this problem, it is proposed to locally deliver bisphosphonate from the screw An in vivo valida ...

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 ...

Electrophoretic deposition of functionalized polystyrene particles for TiO2 multi-scale structured surfaces

Stefano Mischler, Johann Michler

Titanium is an interesting material for biomedical implants thanks to its physical and chemical properties. In particular, TiO2 coatings with a surface characterized by micro-patterning combined with nano-topography are extremely attractive for orthopaedic ...

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, ...

Electrophoretic deposition of multi-scale structured TiO2 surfaces

The long term fixation of biomedical implants constitutes an issue in the clinical praxis. Implant fixation can be improved by functionalizing its surface. In fact, the tissue response around an implant is conditioned by its surface morphological and chemi ...

Prediction of bone density around orthopedic implants delivering bisphosphonate

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann

The fixation of an orthopedic implant depends strongly upon its initial stability. Peri-implant bone may resorb shortly after the surgery. This resorbtion is directly followed by new bone formation and implants fixation strengthening, the so-called seconda ...

Implants delivering bisphosphonate locally increase periprosthetic bone density in an osteoporotic sheep model. A pilot study

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Vincent Stadelmann

It is a clinical challenge to obtain a sufficient orthopedic implant fixation in weak osteoporotic bone. When the primary implant fixation is poor, micromotions occur at the bone-implant interface, activating osteoclasts, which leads to implant loosening. ...
