Hybrid Continuum Robot Designs and Architectures for Healthcare Applications

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
Hybrid continuum robots represent an emerging class of flexible manipulators that blend materials, structures, and actuation concepts from the established fields of soft and continuum robotics. This review introduces an accessible framework to distinguish key hybridization approaches, surveys current designs aimed at complex clinical applications, and ...

Arthroscopic “Mini-Incision” Transtendon Repair Combined With Tri-Anchor Double-Pulley Suture-Bridge Repair of PASTA Lesion

Arthroscopy Techniques
Currently, transtendon repair is a popular way to treat PASTA (partial articular supraspinatus tendon avulsion) lesions. However, tendon trauma on the bursal layer, which may cause tendon retear, is a defect of transtendon repair.

Miniaturized Magnetic Tip Design for Endoluminal Vine Robot Navigation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A magnetic tip mount is designed for a miniaturized 7 mm soft‐growing vine robot to enable wireless magnetic steering and onboard imaging, while preserving a 3 mm working channel. The internal–external ring magnets design balances magnetic attachment with low eversion pressure. Experiments demonstrate ±90° steering, 34 mm bending radius, and successful

Bioinspired Soft‐Skeleton Robotics With Cooperative Shape Transformation and Stiffness Adaptation

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.
A bioinspired soft‐skeleton robot that integrates variable‐stiffness chain skeletons into a soft textile skin is developed. The chain skeletons are highly flexible initially but can stiffen upon pneumatic actuation, enabling large deformation and enhanced load‐bearing capacity.

Scx-transduced tendon-derived stem cells (tdscs) promoted better tendon repair compared to mock-transduced cells in a rat patellar tendon window injury model.

PLoS ONE, 2014
We hypothesized that the transplantation of Scx-transduced tendon-derived stem cells (TDSCs) promoted better tendon repair compared to the transplantation of mock-transduced cells.

Optimizing Flexor Digitorum Profundus Tendon Repair: A Narrative Review

Journal of Functional Biomaterials
Zone II flexor digitorum profundus (FDP) tendon injuries are complex, and present significant challenges in hand surgery, due to the need to balance strength and flexibility during repair. Traditional suture techniques often lead to complications such as

Tendon end separation with loading in an Achilles tendon repair model: comparison of non-absorbable vs. absorbable sutures [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Rupture of the Achilles tendon often leads to long-term morbidity, particularly calf weakness associated with tendon elongation. Operative repair of Achilles tendon ruptures leads to reduced tendon elongation.

Limited open repair for achilles tendon rupture in the setting of co-morbidities: A case series and technique review

Foot & Ankle Surgery: Techniques, Reports & Cases
An acute Achilles tendon rupture poses a difficult treatment strategy in both young and old patients. Commonly considered an injury of the middle aged “weekend warrior,” an Achilles tendon tear in a sedentary patient is quite debilitating.
