Hybrid hydrogels for load-bearing implants

Céline Samira Wyss

Load-bearing tissues such as articular cartilage or meniscus are not infallible. They might fail due to trauma, over-solicitations, or diseases, which could subsequently alter the mobility of the patient. Repairing these damaged tissues in a minimally inva ...

Modifying Stride Length in Isolation and in Combination With Foot Progression Angle and Step Width Can Improve Knee Kinetics Related to Osteoarthritis; A Preliminary Study in Healthy Subjects

Brigitte Jolles-Haeberli

The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of modifying stride length (SL) on knee adduction and flexion moments, two markers of knee loading associated with medial-compartment knee osteoarthritis (OA) progression. This study also tested if SL ...

In vivo cyclic loading as a potent stimulatory signal for bone formation inside tissue engineering scaffolds

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Alireza Roshan Ghias

In clinical situations, bone defects are often located at load bearing sites. Tissue engineering scaffolds are future bone substitutes and hence they will be subjected to mechanical stimulation. The goal of this study was to test if cyclic loading can be u ...

Engineering of human meniscus substitute

Anna Marsano

Injuries to the meniscus are often treated by partial or total meniscectomy, which is known to be associated with detrimental changes in joint function, ultimately increasing the risk of early degenerative joint diseases. Surgical approaches currently in u ...

A new ambulatory system for comparative evaluation of the three-dimensional knee kinematics, applied to anterior cruciate ligament injuries

Kamiar Aminian, Julien Favre, Bijan Najafi

The aim of this study was to develop an ambulatory system for the three-dimensional (3D) knee kinematics evaluation, which can be used outside a laboratory during long-term monitoring. In order to show the efficacy of this ambulatory system, knee function ...
