International Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, 2012 The purpose of this study was to determine if a temporomandibular joint (TMJ) replaced by a custom joint prosthesis could have been replaced by a stock joint prosthesis. Stereolithic models of patients treated with TMJ Concepts® patient fitted joint prosthesis (e.g., custom) were obtained. Biomet Microfixation® TMJ prostheses (e.g.

Current Directions in Biomedical Engineering, 2019 Endoprostheses such as hip replacements are subject to wear. Lubrication of the joint interface plays a key role in the wear process, but the mechanisms of lubrication is challenging to understand. The main issue is the three-body abrasion which leads to

Hip joint hydatidosis after prosthesis replacement [PDF]
International Journal of Infectious Diseases, 2010 Hydatidosis is a rare parasitic disease caused by the Echinococcus tapeworm, which only occasionally affects the musculoskeletal tissues. In this article we describe the case of a patient who underwent a total hip replacement procedure for a pathological fracture of the femur neck.

Joint Speed Discrimination and Augmentation For Prosthesis Feedback [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2018 AbstractSensory feedback is critical in fine motor control, learning, and adaptation. However, robotic prosthetic limbs currently lack the feedback segment of the communication loop between user and device. Artificial sensory feedback can close this gap, but sometimes this improvement only persists when users cannot see their prosthesis. suggesting the

THREE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL OF A HIP PROSTHESIS
Journal of Industrial Design and Engineering Graphics, 2019 Serious pathological problems of the hip joint can be solved surgically, in some cases by joint prosthesis. For this reason, it is very important to be able to shape, in a first phase, the components of the prosthesis, which can then be tested virtually.

Factors to Consider in Joint Prosthesis Systems [PDF]
Baylor University Medical Center Proceedings, 2006 In joint reconstruction, the techniques and materials that provide the best outcomes for patients have been debated. The main points of controversy relate to the use of hemiarthroplasties versus total joint prostheses with metal-on-metal versus metal-on-polyethylene articulations.

Loosened hip joint prosthesis-decision options
Journal of the Bulgarian Orthopaedics and Trauma AssociationFor the period 2013-2015, 36 patients underwent revision surgery because of secondary developed complications after primary hip joint replacement surgery. 14 of them were male and 23 – female, with average age 73 years.
