A new technique to measure micromotion distribution around a cementless femoral stem

Dominique Pioletti, Alexandre Terrier, Miguel Gortchacow

The interfacial micromotion is closely associated to the long-term success of cementless hip prostheses. Various techniques have been proposed to measure them, but only a few number of points over the stem surface can be measured simultaneously. In this pa ...

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, ...

Cost Aware Design of Translucent WDM Transport Networks

Christian Gaumier, Sébastien Rumley

Fully-transparent DWDM networks working at 10 Gb/s or more have limited reach. At these high rates, only translucent networks able to fully regenerate the signal when needed can be used to implement long haul transport networks. Since signal regeneration a ...

Bioresorbable composites prepared by supercritical fluid foaming

Jan-Anders Edvin Maansson, Dominique Pioletti, Pierre-Etienne Bourban

Bone is a natural composite construct, with a gradient structure going from a loose interconnected cellular core to an outer dense wall, thus minimizing bone weight while keeping a high mechanical resistance. Due to this unique and complex structure, bone ...
