Computational Design of Corrosion-resistant and Wear-resistant Titanium Alloys for Orthopedic Implants [PDF]
Titanium alloys are promising candidates for orthopedic implants due to their mechanical resilience and biocompatibility. Current titanium alloys in orthopedic implants still suffer from low wear and corrosion resistance. Here, we present a computational method for optimizing the composition of titanium alloys for enhanced corrosion and wear resistance

Sharing Pain: Using Pain Domain Transfer for Video Recognition of Low Grade Orthopedic Pain in Horses [PDF]
Orthopedic disorders are common among horses, often leading to euthanasia, which often could have been avoided with earlier detection. These conditions often create varying degrees of subtle long-term pain. It is challenging to train a visual pain recognition method with video data depicting such pain, since the resulting pain behavior also is subtle ...

Fracture of the tibial baseplate in bicompartmental knee arthroplasty [PDF]
Introduction. Bicompartmental knee arthroplasty (BKA) addresses combined medial and patellofemoral compartment osteoarthritis, which is relatively common, and has been proposed as a bridge between unicompartmental and total knee arthroplasty (TKA).

CNN Attention Guidance for Improved Orthopedics Radiographic Fracture Classification [PDF]
Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have gained significant popularity in orthopedic imaging in recent years due to their ability to solve fracture classification problems. A common criticism of CNNs is their opaque learning and reasoning process, making it difficult to trust machine diagnosis and the subsequent adoption of such algorithms in clinical

Reliability assessment in advanced nanocomposite materials for orthopaedic applications [PDF]
Alumina-zirconia nano-composites were recently developed as alternative bearing materials for orthopedics. Previous, preliminary reports show that such alumina-zirconia nanocomposites exhibit high crack resistance and low wear rate. In this paper, additional information is given in terms of wear, crack resistance and ageing behaviour: femoral heads are

Explainable AI in Orthopedics: Challenges, Opportunities, and Prospects [PDF]
While artificial intelligence (AI) has made many successful applications in various domains, its adoption in healthcare lags a little bit behind other high-stakes settings. Several factors contribute to this slower uptake, including regulatory frameworks, patient privacy concerns, and data heterogeneity.
