Designing a Specialized Devices for Correction of the Axis Deviation at the Human Leg
2013
The presented article is an original contribution which implies the design of a specialized device for high tybial osteotomy (HTO) optimization. In the papers are presented the sources that imply HTO, the axial deviations of the human lower member from the correct position. This sources are the gonarthosys owed to the usage of the knees cartilages or owed to some diseases (such as the Blount disease) and the vicious consolidated fractures. After presenting the needs to realize such a specialized device for HTO, the principal requests the device shall fulfill are underlined. Starting from these , two sub ensembles were projected, one for the tibial positioning and for the execution of the ho…
Customizable Patient-Specific Cutting Guide for High Tibial Osteotomy
2019
Abstract The paper is an interdisciplinary medical and engineering approach that aims to optimize the accuracy of the High Tibial Osteotomy surgical intervention. The axial deviations of the human inferior limb are presented in the first part of the paper. Without altering the shape of the bones, these deviations cause the wear of the knee’s articular cartilage by gonarthrosis. One of the most common and effective treatment modalities for eliminating axial deviations is High Tibial Osteotomy. Because the surgical procedure involves 3D spatial bone cutting, the accuracy of the procedure and thus the success of the operation and the recovery of the patient is dependent on the execution of the…
Experimental modular stand used for studies of the High Tibial Osteotomy
2017
The optimization of the surgery strategies for the correction of the axial deviations of the human lower member presents a great importance both for the affected patients and for surgeons. This article seeks to develop a modular stand used mainly for experimental study of the High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO). In the article it is also shown the relation between the axial deviations of the human leg and their corrections using HTO. The modular devices were designed, executed and used in the experimental research.
