On the Analysis of the Contact Conditions in Temporomandibular Joint Prostheses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Temporomandibular joint replacement (TMJR) is a complex surgical procedure in which the artificial joints available must assure the anatomical reconstruction and guarantee a good range of the natural temporomandibular joint (TMJ) movements. With this aim,

Modification of joint prosthesis surfaces by ultrashort pulse laser treatment for improved joint lubrication

open access: yesCurrent 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
