Characterization and Correction of Errors in Computing Contact Location Between Curved Articular Surfaces: Application to Total Knee Arthroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In total knee arthroplasty (TKA), one common metric used to evaluate innovations in component designs, methods of component alignment, and surgical techniques aimed at decreasing the high rate of patient-reported dissatisfaction ...
An Improved Tibial Force Sensor to Compute Contact Forces and Contact Locations In Vitro After Total Knee Arthroplasty
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Contact force imbalance and contact kinematics (i.e., motion of the contact location in each compartment during flexion) of the tibiofemoral joint are both important predictors of a patient's outcome following total knee ...
Tibial Contact Force and Contact Location Errors of the VERASENSE
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The OrthoSensor VERASENSE knee system is a commercially available instrumented tibial insert that provides real-time intraoperative measurements of tibial contact force and contact location to guide surgeons toward improving ...
A New Handheld Tool to Select the Correct Tibial Insert Thickness by Measuring the Force to Push a Trial Insert Into Position During Total Knee Arthroplasty Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: During total knee arthroplasty (TKA) surgery, an important step is determining the correct insert thickness for each patient. If the insert is too thick, then stiffness results. Or conversely, if the insert is too thin, ...
