Early detection of hip periprosthetic joint infections through CNN on Computed Tomography images [PDF]
, 2023 Early detection of an infection prior to prosthesis removal (e.g., hips, knees or other areas) would provide significant benefits to patients. Currently, the detection task is carried out only retrospectively with a limited number of methods relying on biometric or other medical data.

Revision of tumor prosthesis of the knee joint [PDF]
European Journal of Orthopaedic Surgery & Traumatology, 2011 BACKGROUND: Among 40 patients with primary malignant tumors of the knee joint who underwent reconstruction of the affected limb with tumor prosthesis, revision was required in 7 due to stem breakage or loosening. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: In the 7 cases undergoing revision, conditions and background factors at the time of breakage, the breakage site, time

ARTHROPLASTY OF THE KNEE BY THE WALLDLUS PROSTHESIS [PDF]
The Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery. British volume, 1968 1. Forty-five arthroplasties of the knee with the Walldius prosthesis are reported in forty-two patients, thirty-seven with rheumatoid arthritis and five with osteoarthritis. 2. There has been no structural failure of the prosthesis. 3. Sepsis required removal of the prosthesis in three cases, but arthrodesis was obtained in two of the three.

Cosmetic effect of knee joint in a knee disarticulation prosthesis [PDF]
Journal of Rehabilitation Research and Development, 2014 Despite numerous advantages, knee disarticulations (KDs) are rarely performed because of the anticipated KD prosthesis fitting problems that include the positioning of the knee joint distally from the KD socket. This results in lengthening of the thigh and subsequent shortening of the shank. The objective of this study was to assess the cosmetic effect

Reinforcement Learning Enabled Automatic Impedance Control of a Robotic Knee Prosthesis to Mimic the Intact Knee Motion in a Co-Adapting Environment [PDF]
arXiv, 2021 Automatically configuring a robotic prosthesis to fit its user's needs and physical conditions is a great technical challenge and a roadblock to the adoption of the technology. Previously, we have successfully developed reinforcement learning (RL) solutions toward addressing this issue.

Knee Motion Generation Method for Transfemoral Prosthesis based on Kinematic Synergy and Inertial Motion [PDF]
IEEE Transactions on Neural Systems and Rehabilitation Engineering
( Volume: PP, Issue: 99 ) pg 1, 2017 Previous research has shown that the effective use of inertial motion (i.e., less or no torque input at the knee joint) plays an important role in achieving a smooth gait of transfemoral prostheses in the swing phase. In our previous research, a method for generating a timed knee trajectory close to able-bodied individuals, which leads to sufficient ...

Structural Simulation of a Bone-Prosthesis System of the Knee Joint
Sensors, 2008 In surgical knee replacement, the damaged knee joint is replaced with artificial prostheses. An accurate clinical evaluation must be carried out before applying knee prostheses to ensure optimal outcome from surgical operations and to reduce the ...

Bouncy Knee in a Semi-Automatic Knee Lock Prosthesis [PDF]
Prosthetics & Orthotics International, 1986 The Bouncy Knee concept has previously proved of value when fitted to stabilised knee units of active amputees. The stance phase flex-extend action afforded by a Bouncy Knee increased the symmetry of gait and also gave better tolerance to slopes and uneven ground.

Total Knee Arthroplasty for Chronic Anterior Knee Dislocation
Clinical Medicine Insights: Case Reports, 2018 Background: The occurrence of chronic knee dislocation is rare. To the best of our knowledge, total knee arthroplasty for treatment of chronic anterior knee dislocation has not been reported. Method: This report describes 3 cases of chronic anterior knee
