Patient specific three dimensional knee model

Abstract

It has been 60 years since the fi surgery was performed yet questions concernin and implant design is most effective for specific remain unanswered. There is a need for a fas solution to test implants for their efficacy un conditions.The primary objective of this project is to esta design space for developing meniscal impla describes the process of building a 3-D mod volumetric MRI data using commercially availa and model building software. The model, when a variety of physiological conditions using formulation developed for 3-D contact of bipha verified against experimental data in whole in-vi

Novel computational approaches characterizing knee physiotherapy

“…While some computer-based surgical simulation systems have been developed to help surgeons perform knee surgeries [1], the knee models used are either not patient-specific [2] or lack kinematic and kinetic information [3,4]. For example, subject-specific simulated [5] knee joint models were created from computed tomography (CT) scans while the subjectspecific knee joint kinematics were obtained from fluoroscopic images.…”

“…No efficient method exists for patient-specific knee-model reconstruction [2], contact force computation, or visualization [7]. Furthermore, no system integrates contact-force simulation, gait-cycle simulation, and virtual knee physiotherapy.…”
