Theoretical Accuracy of Model-Based Shape Matching for Measuring Natural Knee Kinematics with Single-Plane Fluoroscopy
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Quantification of knee motion under dynamic, in vivo loaded conditions is necessary to understand how knee kinematics influence joint injury, disease, and rehabilitation. Though recent studies ...
Increased Conformity Offers Diminishing Returns for Reducing Total Knee Replacement Wear
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wear remains a significant problem limiting the lifespan of total knee replacements (TKRs). Though increased conformity between TKR components has the potential to decrease wear, the optimal ...
Predicting Knee Replacement Damage in a Simulator Machine Using a Computational Model With a Consistent Wear Factor
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Wear of ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene remains a primary factor limiting the longevity of total knee replacements (TKRs). However, wear testing on a simulator machine is time consuming ...
