The focus of this investigation lies on the development of a two-scale homogenization
scheme for poro-elastic fluid-saturated porous media. For this purpose, the general concepts …

Incorporating subject-specific mechanical properties derived from clinical-resolution
computed tomography data increases the accuracy of finite element models. Site-specific …

Preclinical and clinical bone strength predictions can be elucidated by understanding bone
mechanics at a variety of hierarchical levels. As such, down-sampled micro-CT images are …

Background and objectives Virtual reality surgery simulators have been proved effective for
training in several surgical disciplines. Nevertheless, this technology is presently …

This study introduces a haptic rendering algorithm for simulating surgical bone machining
operations. The proposed algorithm is a new variant of the voxmap point-shell method …

Subchondral trabecular bone (STB) undergoes adaptive changes during osteoarthritic (OA)
disease progression. These changes alter both the mineralization patterns and structure of …

Subject-and site-specific modeling techniques greatly improve the accuracy of
computational models derived from clinical-resolution quantitative computed tomography …

Osteoarthritis (OA) is characterized by morphological changes that alter bone structure and
mechanical properties. This study compared bone morphometric parameters and apparent …

Glenoid reaming is a challenging bone machining operation performed in shoulder joint
replacement surgery and represents a suitable target for further developments in haptic …

The progress of additive manufacturing and scanning technologies has made the use of 3D
printed splints in clinical settings increasingly practical. However, certain obstacles continue …
