Does Computer-Assisted Femur First THR Improve Musculoskeletal Loading Conditions?

Does Computer-Assisted Femur First THR Improve Musculoskeletal Loading Conditions?

We have developed a novel, computer-assisted operation method for minimal-invasive total hip replacement (THR) following the concept of "femur first/combined anteversion," which incorporates various aspects of performing a functional optimization of the prosthetic stem and cup position (CAS FF). The purpose of this study is to assess whether the hip joint reaction forces and patient's gait para...

Computer-assisted navigation and musculoskeletal sarcoma surgery.

BACKGROUND Despite advances in medical, surgical, and radiation oncology, deep-seated bone sarcomas that require large osseous resections continue to present resection and reconstructive challenges to musculoskeletal surgeons. METHODS We describe our experience with computer navigation techniques combined with complex pelvic resections and limb-preserving surgeries. RESULTS Computer-assiste...

Finite Element Analysis of Different Hip Implant Designs along with Femur under Static Loading Conditions

Background: The hip joint is the largest joint after the knee, which gives stability to the whole human structure. The hip joint consists of a femoral head which articulates with the acetabulum. Due to age and wear between the joints, these joints need to be replaced with implants which can function just as a natural joint. Since the early 19th century, the hip joint arthroplasty has evolved, a...
