Robotic biomechanical evaluation of six different reverse shoulder implants Ghent University
Background: The reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is a popular surgical treatment for a degenerative shoulder with a nonfunctional rotator cuff. Currently, more than 36 different brands with small different features are available. This creates choice stress among many surgeons, who no longer know which parameters and surgical factors are important to optimize the placement of the implant. Purpose: The first purpose of this pilot study was to ...
Development and validation of a device to measure the force applied to the coxofemoral joint during stress radiography for early diagnosis of Canine Hip Dysplasia Ghent University
Hip dysplasia is a common orthopaedic condition in dogs and stress radiography is the best diagnostic tool for early diagnosis. Objective force guidelines are lacking, leaving room for errors and fraud during screening. Our objective was to develop an accurate and validated measuring device that allows quantification of the applied force in vivo in real-time during stress radiographic imaging. A two-step approach was followed. First, four load ...
Accuracy of intraoperative bone registration and stereotactic boundary reconstruction during total knee arthroplasty surgery Ghent University University of Antwerp
Background The intraoperative registration of the bones play a crucial role in image-based computer-assisted knee arthroplasty to achieve accurate implant placement and to create reliable stereotactic bone boundaries for robot-assisted surgical systems. Method This study assessed the intraoperative registration accuracy on six intact fresh frozen cadavers. Results Rotational errors around the mechanical axis were the largest, with a standard ...
