Total modular wrist prosthesis: a new design

Scandinavian Journal of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery and Hand Surgery, 2004
The common modes of failure of total wrist arthroplasty have been fracturing, loosening, pain on pronation and supination, and muscle soft-tissue imbalance. To overcome some of these problems a total modular wrist prosthesis has been designed for use both as a primary prosthesis and for revision surgery.

Biomechanical Design of the Total Ankle Prosthesis

Engineering in Medicine, 1983
The load bearing joints of the human body and particularly the ankle are often seriously damaged because of different pathological events. During the last 10 years a lot of total ankle prostheses have been studied and implanted, in consequence of the inadequate results obtained by arthrodesis (i.e. the fusion of the joint).

A new approach towards hip-prosthesis design

Archives of Orthopaedic and Traumatic Surgery, 1980
A new femoral prosthesis with a stemless design, different from conventional types, has been conceived in an effort to preserve the physiological stress distribution in magnitude and direction within the living bone as far as possible. The most important feature is that the hip joint forces are transmitted directly to the cortical bone of the resected ...

Grammont reverse prosthesis: Design, rationale, and biomechanics

Journal of Shoulder and Elbow Surgery, 2005
Combined destruction of the rotator cuff and the glenohumeral joint may lead to a painful and pseudo-paralyzed shoulder. In this situation a nonconstrained shoulder prosthesis yields a limited functional result or may even be contraindicated. Previous constrained prostheses (ball-and-socket or reverse ball-and-socket designs) have failed because their ...

Advances in penile prosthesis design

Current Sexual Health Reports, 2007
Researchers have long searched for an effective surgical therapy for impotence throughout recorded history. Early attempts at surgical therapy involved various rigid devices to supplement the natural erection process. Medicine has since turned to prosthetic implants.

Obturator prosthesis design for acquired maxillary defects

The Journal of Prosthetic Dentistry, 1978
Fabrication of obturator prostheses does not require a special ability to fabricate a prosthesis extension into a defect or an arbitrary extension of a prosthesis into a defect. Fabrication of an obturator prosthesis depends on the application of basic prosthodontic principles that are used in the treatment of patients without maxillary defects.
