Hemicortical allograft reconstruction after resection of low-grade malignant bone tumours.

Low-grade surface tumours of bone may theoretically be treated by hemicortical resection, retaining part of the circumference of the cortex. An inlay allograft may be used to reconstruct the defect. Since 1988 we have performed 22 hemicortical procedures in selected patients with low-grade parosteal osteosarcoma (6), peripheral chondrosarcoma (6) and adamantinoma (10). Restricted medullary invo...

Biomechanics for computer-assisted surgery.

TIMC-IMAG Laboratory (www-timc.imag.fr) is a 250 people laboratory devoted to translational and fundamental research at the intersection between Medicine, Information Science and Technology (from Applied Mathematics to Computer Science and Robotics). In that lab, since the 80’s, the Computer-Assisted Medical Intervention group is developing devices to assist the physician or the surgeon in the ...

Techniques for Computer Assisted Surgery

In the recent decades robotic and computer science have been gaining more and more relevance in all aspects of our lives. In surgery, for example, they gave birth to procedures that would be impossible to perform otherwise (e.g. tele-surgery, nano-surgery). On this regard, these applied sciences already play an important role in assisting the surgeon both in the operative room and as a support ...
