Acoustic Emission Measurement System for the Orthopedical Diagnostics of the Human Femur and Knee Joint
نویسنده
چکیده
Quality control in the orthopedical diagnostics according to DIN EN ISO 9000 ff requires methods of nondestructive process control, which do not harm the patient neither by radiation nor by invasive examinations. To gain an improvement of health economy quality controlled and nondestructive measurements have to be introduced in the diagnostics and the therapy of human joints and bones. There is no non invasive evaluation method for the state of wear regarding human joints and the cracking tendency of bones yet established.

متن کاملFinite 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...

Background: Lower extremity injuries are frequently observed in car-to-pedestrian accidents and due to the bumper height of most cars, knee joint is one of the most damaged body parts in car-to-pedestrian collisions.Objective: The aim of this paper is first to provide an accurate Finite Element model of the knee joint and second to investigate lower limb impact biomechanics in car-to-pede...
متن کاملDifferent References for Valgus Cut Angle in Total Knee Arthroplasty
Background: The valgus cut angle (VCA) of the distal femur in Total Knee Arthroplasty (TKA) is measured preoperativelyon three-joint alignment radiographs. The anatomical axis of the femur can be described as the anatomical axis of thefull length of the femur or as the anatomical axis of the distal half of the femur, which may result in different anglesin some cases. During TKA, the anatomical ...
