Open AccessThe influence of surgical technique guidance and surgeon’s experience on the femoral head assembly in total hip arthroplasty
The importance of the assembly procedure on the taper connection strength is evident. However, existent surgical technique guides frequently lack comprehensive and precise instructions in this regard. The aim ...

Open AccessFinite element analysis of bone remodelling with piezoelectric effects using an open-source framework
Bone tissue exhibits piezoelectric properties and thus is capable of transforming mechanical stress into electrical potential. Piezoelectricity has been shown to play a vital role in bone adaptation and remode...

Open AccessNeuro-musculoskeletal flexible multibody simulation yields a framework for efficient bone failure risk assessment
Fragility fractures are a major socioeconomic problem. A non-invasive, computationally-efficient method for the identification of fracture risk scenarios under the representation of neuro-musculoskeletal dynam...

Primary stability of total hip stems: does surgical technique matter?
With this preliminary study we hypothesized a modified implantation technique may lead to higher primary stability than the conventional one.

Open AccessInterlaboratory comparison of femur surface reconstruction from CT data compared to reference optical 3D scan
The present study contrasts the accuracy of different reconstructed models with distinctive segmentation methods performed by various experts. Seven research groups reconstructed nine 3D models of one human fe...

Laser engravings as reason for mechanical failure of titanium-alloyed total hip stems
Two revisions of broken β-titanium total hip stems had to be performed in our hospital after 2 and 4 years in situ. Since both fractures were located at the level of a laser engraving, a failure analysis was c...

Chapter
Total Knee Replacement with Ceramic Components: Evaluation, Material Characteristics and Clinical Performance
Since the first clinical use of ceramics in total joint arthroplasty, the material properties, manufacturing methods and implant design have been improved. This led to the development of a total knee replaceme...

The influence of head diameter and wall thickness on deformations of metallic acetabular press-fit cups and UHMWPE liners: a finite element analysis
To increase the range of motion of total hip endoprostheses, prosthetic heads need to be enlarged, which implies that the cup and/or liner thickness must decrease. This may have negative effects on the wear ra...

A New Approach for Diagnostic Investigation of Total Hip Replacement Loosening
Diagnosis of total hip replacement (THR) loosening using imaging often fails to provide reliable results. New implants instrumented with sensors shall conform to this challenge. Therefore, a novel concept of a...

Chapter and Conference Paper
Robot-Based Testing of Total Joint Replacements
Instabilities of artificial joints are prevalent complications in total joint arthroplasty. In order to investigate failure mechanisms like dislocation of total hip replacements or instability of total knee re...

HiL simulation for testing joint stability after total knee arthroplasty
Instability of total knee replacements (TKRs) remains one of the most prevalent complications after total knee arthroplasty. Especially the actual event of instability involving complex interactions between im...
