Biomechanics of the through-knee prosthesis.
The biomechanics of the through-knee prosthesis is considered in detail and comparisons made with the above-knee case. Socket shape and suspension are discussed and comment offered on knee function in both stance and swing phases.
متن کاملThe biomechanics of the Syme prosthesis.
The purpose of any limb prosthesis is to replace, to the reasonable satisfaction of the wearer, as much as possible of the normal form and function lost through amputation. To provide a suitable prosthesis in any particular case, therefore, the several cooperating professional persons—physicians, prosthetists, therapists, others as appropriate—must have an intimate knowledge of just what losses...
متن کاملBiomechanics of the hip disarticulation prosthesis.
1 Previously published in Orthopadie Technik, 4/76, 58-60. Introduction M o r e than twenty years ago, McLaur in (1954) published his first report on the Canadian hip disarticulation prosthesis. His work was aimed at improving the conventional design of the saucer-type and tilting table prostheses. A measure of his success can be seen in that the Canadian-type has made the other two almost obso...
متن کاملBiomechanics of Cantilevered Implant-Supported Prosthesis (Biomechanics in Implant Prosthodontics)
The peculiar characteristic of an implant-supported prosthesis is the fact that its fixation is given by the connection of an alloplastic material (the implant) to a living tissue (the bone). This fixation has been defined as rigid and clinically asymptomatic and must be maintained during functional loading (Albrektsson & Zarb, 1993). Under load, bone tissue will undergo a remodeling process, w...
متن کاملNormal anatomy and biomechanics of the knee.
Functionally, the knee comprises 2 articulations-the patellofemoral and tibiofemoral. Stability of the joint is governed by a combination of static ligaments, dynamic muscular forces, meniscocapsular aponeurosis, bony topography, and joint load. The surgeon is ill equipped to undertake surgical treatment of a dislocated knee without a sound footing in the anatomic complexities of this joint. We...
