An Apparatus for Measuring Combined Shear-Tensile Loading in Fibrous Tissues Ex Vivo
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soft tissues such as tendon and ligament undergo a combination of shear and tensile loading in vivo due to their boundary conditions at muscle and/or bone. Current experimental protocols are limited to pure tensile loading, ...
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 ...
