Influence of cementless hip stems on femoral cortical strain pattern depending on their extent of porous coating [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The extent of porous coating of cementless total hip stems is held responsible for radiological periprosthetic changes, the rate of thigh pain, and even its long-term success.

Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

A circumferentially flanged tibial tray minimizes bone-tray shear micromotion [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Aseptic loosening of the tibial component is the major complication of total knee arthroplasty. There is an association between early excessive shear micromotion between the bone and the tray of the tibial component and late aseptic loosening.

Distal radioulnar joint prosthesis for the treatment of giant cell tumor of the distal ulna: a case report and literature review

open access: yesStrategies in Trauma and Limb Reconstruction, 2011
Giant cell tumor (GCT) of the distal end of the ulna is an uncommon site for primary bone tumors. When it occurs, en-bloc resection of the distal part of the ulna with or without reconstruction stabilization of the ulnar stump is the recommended ...

Application of 3D-printed PEEK scapula prosthesis in the treatment of scapular benign fibrous histiocytoma: A case report

open access: yesJournal of Bone Oncology, 2018
Background: Bone benign fibrous histiocytoma (BFH) is an invasive primary bone tumor. When the local excision is not complete, the risk of recurrence is high, and hence, one-piece resection is necessary.

Introduction to Prosthetic Limbs [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Approximately 2 million people in the Unites States alone have had an amputation, and many of these people use a prosthetic limb daily. The prosthetic limb, which began as a primitive device, is now a highly sophisticated piece of technology.

Comparison of vibrotactile and joint-torque feedback in a myoelectric upper-limb prosthesis

open access: yesJournal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation, 2019
Despite the technological advancements in myoelectric prostheses, body-powered prostheses remain a popular choice for amputees, in part due to the natural sensory advantage they provide. Research on haptic feedback in myoelectric prostheses has delivered
