RISPredicting Distal Radius Bone Strains and Injury in Response to Impacts Using Multi-Axial Accelerometers
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Measuring a bone’s response to impact has traditionally been done using strain gauges that are attached directly to the bone. Accelerometers have also been used for this purpose because they ...
Development of an Apparatus to Produce Fractures From Short-Duration High-Impulse Loading With an Application in the Lower Leg
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Axial loading of the lower leg during impact events can cause significant fractures of the tibia. The magnitude of lower leg axial loading that occurs during short-duration high-impulse events, ...
The Effect of Cross-Sectional Stem Shape on the Torsional Stability of Cemented Implant Components
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stability of a cemented implant, once the stem-cement interface has debonded, is reliant upon stem geometry and surface finish. There are relatively few studies addressing the effect of ...
Development of a Testing Methodology to Quantify Bone Load Transfer Patterns for Multiple Stemmed Implants in a Single Bone With an Application in the Distal Ulna
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Optimal parameters for many orthopaedic implants, such as stem length and material, are unknown. Geometry and mechanical properties of bone can vary greatly amongst cadaveric specimens, requiring ...
