Orthopaedic injuries in martial arts
… though little research has been conducted on orthopaedic injuries. Poorly managed or untreated injuries may result in long-term complications. As martial arts present a heterogeneous population, this thesis focusses on contact striking martial arts. Objectives To identify the frequency and …

Rolling contact orthopaedic joint design
Arthroplasty, the practice of rebuilding diseased biological joints using engineering materials, is often used to treat severe arthritis of the knee and hip. Prosthetic joints have been created in a "biomimetic" manner to reconstruct the shape of the biological joint. We are at a disadvantage, …

DISTRIBUTIVE JUSTICE AND THE MANAGEMENT OF ORTHOPAEDIC TRAUMA
… and benefits in society. In the context of orthopaedic surgery management, distributive justice is an important consideration in ensuring that all patients have equal access to the resources and care in the treatment of their injuries. The literature well documents demographic and …

Investigating Synovial Fluid Electrochemical Properties Against Orthopaedic Alloys
<p>Introduction. Cobalt-chromium-molybdenum (CoCrMo) femoral components are widely used in total knee arthroplasty (TKA). However, recent retrospective clinical trials associate moderate adverse local tissue reactions (ALTRs) with CoCrMo release in the knee. Additionally, gaps persist in our …

Orthopaedic implications of physeal arrest following meningococcal septicaemia
Thirteen patients seen at Red Cross Children's and Maitland Cottage hospitals have under gone complex treatment for the significant deformities caused by meningococcal septicaemia. These patients underwent 62 surgical procedures between them. These procedures were directed at the treatment of …

2D-3D Registration Methods for Computer-Assisted Orthopaedic Surgery
… image-guided intervention in computer-assisted orthopaedic surgery (CAOS). Preoperative 3D images and surgical plans need to be mapped to the patient in the operating room before they can be used to augment the surgical intervention, and this task is generally fulfilled by using 2D-3D …

Conformable and robust microfluidic force sensors for orthopaedic surgery
Quantitative force feedback for orthopaedic surgeons is crucial for the accurate positioning of implants during total hip and knee arthroplasty (THA and TKA respectively). During the trial stage of THA, the surgeon manually determines the implant size, positioning, and range of joint motion of the …

Simulation Optimization Of Operating Room Schedules For Elective Orthopaedic Surgeries
The aim of this thesis was to solve the problem of scheduling elective surgeries in a multiple operating room setting with the goal of minimizing the amount of overtime incurred. While surgical durations cannot always be perfectly estimated and vary by procedure and surgeon, we propose an approach …

Haptic emulation of hard surfaces with applications to orthopaedic surgery
A generally accepted goal in orthopaedic surgery today is to maximize conservation of tissue and reduce tissue damage. Bone-conserving implants have bone-mating surfaces that reproduce the natural curvature of bone structures, requiring less bone removal. No small, reliable, inexpensive and …
