Association of coronal knee phenotype and joint line obliquity with proximal tibiofibular joint morphology in advanced osteoarthritis

Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery
Purpose The proximal tibiofibular joint (PTFJ) is biomechanically related to the tibiofemoral joint and may influence load transmission across the knee. However, it remains unclear whether PTFJ morphology is associated with coronal knee phenotype, joint ...

Functional Alignment Philosophy in Total Knee Arthroplasty – Rationale and technique for the varus morphotype using a CT based robotic platform and individualized planning

SICOT-J, 2022
Introduction: Alignment techniques in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) continue to evolve. Functional alignment (FA) is a novel technique that utilizes robotic tools to deliver TKA with the aim of respecting individual anatomical variations.

Compliant Pneumatic Feet with Real‐Time Stiffness Adaptation for Humanoid Locomotion

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A compliant pneumatic foot with real‐time variable stiffness enables humanoid robots to adapt to changing terrains. Using onboard vision and pressure control, the foot modulates stiffness within each gait cycle, reducing impact forces and improving balance. The design, cast in soft silicone with embedded air chambers and Kevlar wrapping, offers durable,

Mobile-bearing medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty restores limb alignment comparable to that of the unaffected contralateral limb

Acta Orthopaedica, 2017
Background and purpose — Medial unicompartmental knee arthroplasty (UKA) is undertaken in patients with a passively correctable varus deformity. We investigated whether restoration of natural soft tissue tension would result in a lower limb alignment ...

Bioinspired Morphology‐Decoupled Soft Gripper with Enhanced Bidirectional Grasping Capability

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Inspired by biological predation, a novel gripper decouples cross‐modal grasping via dual morphological configurations. Synergistically integrating hybrid rigid and soft coupled fingers with a metamaterial palm, the system performs active compliant grasping for static objects and passive cage capture for dynamic targets.

Potential anatomic risk factors resulting oversized postoperative medial proximal tibial angle after double level osteotomy

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2022
Background Double level osteotomy (DLO) has been introduced to prevent increased postoperative joint line obliquity. However, although DLO is planned, knees with postoperative medial proximal tibial angle (MPTA) > 95° in preoperative surgical planning ...
