Robotic Simulation of Disc Arthroplasty Surgery: Influence of Surgical Placement on Motion Segment Dynamics
<p>A variety of total disc replacement (TDR) designs exist for the treatment of disc pathologies. A key design parameter for a constrained ball and socket device is the location of the fixed center of rotation (COR). A previous study demonstrated that intact motion segment unit (MSU) mechanics and …

A spectral approach to noninvasive model-based estimation of intracranial pressure
… to the brain. Measuring ICP requires the surgical placement of a sensor or catheter into the brain tissue or cerebrospinal fluid spaces of the brain. With the risk of infection and brain damage, ICP is only measured in a small subset of those patients whose treatment could benefit from …

Multi-objective design optimization of reverse total shoulder arthroplasty to maximize range of motion and joint stability
… that are not addressed by conventional replacements. Although reverse total shoulder arthroplasty is the current gold standard for treating a range of indications, the effects of varying its design on functional outcomes of the procedure are still not well understood.</p> <p>To that end, …

Computational model of thrombosis in cerebral aneurysms for predicting clotting outcomes in flow diverter treated patient-derived geometries validated with novel PIV-based ln vitro clotting flow experiment
… factor in predicting aneurysm-occlusion after surgical placement of a stent. To this end, a pulsatile-flow direct thrombosis-model has been developed towards use in a clinical environment to predict thrombosis outcomes in patient-specific cerebral aneurysm cases with and without a flow …
