Automatic Parameterization of the Distal Femur Based on 3d Surface Data: a Novel Approach for Systematic Morphological Analysis and Optimization

چکیده
For a proper functional restoration of the knee following knee arthroplasty, a comprehensive understanding of bony and soft tissue structures and their effects on biomechanics of the individual patient is essential. If the joint surface is altered due to arthritis, fracture or alloplastic knee surface replacement, knee biomechanics may be disturbed [Sharma2012, Delport2012]. Otherwise, if the ligamentous situation is not compatible to the bony geometry, the biomechanics of the knee joint will be altered as well, potentially resulting in increased joint forces and related wear [Daniel1994]. A systematic description of morphological knee joint parameters and a study of their effects on knee biomechanics could be beneficial for an optimal patient-specific implant design.

متن کاملA Chance Constraint Approach to Multi Response Optimization Based on a Network Data Envelopment Analysis
In this paper, a novel approach for multi response optimization is presented. In the proposed approach, response variables in treatments combination occur with a certain probability. Moreover, we assume that each treatment has a network style. Because of the probabilistic nature of treatment combination, the proposed approach can compute the efficiency of each treatment under the desirable reli...
