Patellar bone strain after total knee arthroplasty is correlated with bone mineral density and body mass index

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Philippe Büchler, Adeliya Latypova

Patella-related complications after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) remain a major clinical concern. Previous studies have suggested that increased postoperative patellar bone strain could be related to such complications, but there is limited knowledge on p ...

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 ...

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 ...

Simultaneous and multisite measure of micromotion, subsidence and gap to evaluate femoral stem stability

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Miguel Gortchacow

The initial stability of cementless femoral components is crucial for the long-term success of total hip arthroplasty. This has been reported in animal and clinical studies. Until now, the stability was evaluated by the measurement of relative micromotion ...

Human fetal bone cells associated with ceramic reinforced PLA scaffolds for tissue engineering

Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban, Corinne Scaletta, Lee Ann Laurent-Applegate, Claire Diane Delabarde, Laurence Marcelle Monique Rivier

Fetal bone cells were shown to have an interesting potential for therapeutic use in bone tissue engineering due to their rapid growth rate and their ability to differentiate into mature osteoblasts in vitro. We describe hereafter their capability to promot ...
