Computational modeling has become a powerful tool in biomedical engineering thanks to its
potential to simulate coupled systems. However, real parameters are usually not accurately …

Fluoroscopic evaluation of total knee arthroplasty (TKA) has reported sudden anterior
translation of the femur relative to the tibia (paradoxical anterior motion) for some cruciate …

Uncertainty that arises from measurement error and parameter estimation can significantly
affect the interpretation of musculoskeletal simulations; however, these effects are rarely …

A variety of design and patient parameters have been implicated in recent reports of fretting
corrosion at modular connections in total hip arthroplasty. We sought to identify the relative …

Abstract Background and Objective Loosening and wear are still the main problems for the
failure of total ankle arthroplasty, which are closely related to the micromotion at the bone …

By characterizing anatomical differences in size and shape between subjects, statistical
shape models enable population-based evaluations in biomechanics. Statistical models …

Clinical studies demonstrate substantial variation in kinematic and functional performance
within the total knee replacement (TKR) patient population. Some of this variation is due to …

Background: Few registry-based studies in the United States have compared the
survivorship of different knee implant designs in total knee arthroplasty. The purpose of this …

Wear of total knee replacement continues to be a significant factor influencing the clinical
longevity of implants. Historically, failure due to delamination and fatigue directed design …

Understanding the mechanical loading environment and resulting joint mechanics for
activities of daily living in total knee arthroplasty is essential to continuous improvement in …
