A New System to Produce Intraoperatively Custom Femoral Prosthesis From Measurements Taken During the Surgical Procedure

Relation between subject-specific hip joint loading, stress distribution in the proximal femur and bone mineral density changes after total hip replacement

“…Two patients who received an uncemented, custom-made titanium prosthesis, fully coated with hydroxyapatite for the treatment of primary osteoarthritis, were included in the study (Mulier et al, 1989): Subject 1 was a 41-year-old female subject (BMI: 26.29 kg/m 2 ), subject 2 was a 62-year-old male subject (BMI: 27.66 kg/m 2 ).…”

Morphologic analysis of the medullary canal in rheumatoid elbows

“…14,15,28,29 The geometry of the medullary canals of the distal humerus and proximal ulna is considered important for the appropriate design of stems for the TEA prosthesis to increase its stability in the bone and decrease the rate of loosening. Our measurements were derived from 3D constructions of the medullary canal, based on the CT data obtained with a high-speed helical scanner.…”

Aberrant pelvis and hip kinematics impair hip loading before and after total hip replacement

“…All subjects underwent hip replacement through a lateral approach, performed by the same orthopaedic surgeon, and all received a primary, unilateral, custom-made THR [20]. The study was approved by the local Ethics Committee and informed consent was obtained from all subjects.…”
