The 4-Strand Hamstring Overlap Link for All-Inside Anterior Cruciate Ligament Reconstruction: Graft Preparation Technique. [PDF]
Arthrosc TechAbstract Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury is among the most prevalent sports‐related knee injuries. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction (ACLR) is the standard minimally invasive surgical treatment for ACL injuries. The all‐inside technique, as a significant recent innovation in ACLR, has become an important clinical option due to its advantages of ...

3D Printed Meter-Scale Soft Origami Robots Capable of Load-Bearing Actuation Via Crease Stiffness Modulation. [PDF]
Adv Sci (Weinh)Origami has inspired numerous soft deployable mechanisms for safe human‐robot interaction, while its intrinsic kinematic instability at arbitrary configurations limited their practical robotic application. This work presents a 3D printed meter‐scale origami robotic actuator capable of load‐bearing deformation through creaseline stiffness modulation.
