Dual Joint Modeling for Estimation of Total Knee Replacement Contact Forces During Locomotion
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Modelbased estimation of in vivo contact forces arising between components of a total knee replacement is challenging because such forces depend upon accurate modeling of muscles, tendons, ligaments, contact, and multibody ...
An Adaptable Computed Tomography-Derived Three-Dimensional-Printed Alignment Fixture Minimizes Errors in Radius Biomechanical Testing
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Biomechanical testing of long bones can be susceptible to errors and uncertainty due to malalignment of specimens with respect to the mechanical axis of the test frame. To solve this problem, we designed a novel, customizable ...
Finite Element-Predicted Effects of Screw Configuration in Proximal Humerus Fracture Fixation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Internal fixation with the use of locking plates is the standard surgical treatment for proximal humerus fractures, one of the most common fractures in the elderly. Screw cut-out through weak cancellous bone of the humeral ...
