Biomechanical evaluation of total ankle arthroplasty. Part II: Influence of loading and fixation design on tibial bone–implant interaction

Finite element (FE) models to evaluate the burden placed on the interaction between total ankle arthroplasty (TAA) implants and the bone often rely on peak axial forces. However, the loading environment of the ankle is complex, and it is unclear whether peak axial forces represent a challenging scenario for the interaction between the implant and the bone. Our goal was to determine how the loads and the design of the fixation of the tibial component of TAA impact the interaction between the implant and the bone. To this end, we developed a framework that integrated robotic cadaveric simulations to determine the ankle kinematics, musculoskeletal models to determine the ankle joint loads, and FE models to evaluate the interaction between TAA and the bone. We compared the bone–implant micromotion and the risk of bone failure of three common fixation designs for the tibial component of TAA: spikes, a stem, and a keel. We found that the most critical conditions for the interaction between the implant and the bone were dependent on the specimen and the fixation design, but always involved submaximal forces and large moments. We also found that while the fixation design influenced the distribution and the peak value of bone–implant micromotion, the amount of bone at risk of failure was specimen dependent. To account for the most critical conditions for the interaction between the implant and the bone, our results support simulating multiple specimens under complex loading profiles that include multiaxial moments and span entire activity cycles.     

A Mortar Spectral Element Method for Full-Potential Electronic Structure Calculations

In this paper, we propose an efficient mortar spectral element approximation scheme for full-potential electronic structure calculations. As a subsequent work of [24], the paper adopts a similar domain decomposition that the computational domain is first decomposed into a number of cuboid subdomains satisfying each nucleus is located in the center of one cube, in which a small ball element centered at the site of the nucleus is attached, and the remainder of the cube is further partitioned into six curvilinear hexahedrons. Specially designed Sobolev-orthogonal basis is adopted in each ball. Classic conforming spectral element approximations using mapped Jacobi polynomials are implemented on the curvilinear hexahedrons and the cuboid elements without nuclei. A mortar technique is applied to patch the different discretizations. Numerical experiments are carried out to demonstrate the efficiency of our scheme, especially the spectral convergence rates of the ground state approximations. Essentially the algorithm can be extended to general eigenvalue problems with the Coulomb singularities.

海绵质骨螺旋钉拔出试验之生物力学分析

评估螺旋钉设计优劣的简便方法之一为拔出试验。虽然比较用之海绵质骨试件可取自相同部位，自同一方向植入螺旋钉，并具有相同基准。然而因各处海绵质骨骼结构不尽相同，至今尚未有人探讨如使用不同之海绵质骨结构，例如近似等向性之杆状结构，或是板与杆组合之有强列方向排列者，对于螺旋钉拔出之最大力量有多大影响？采用牛股骨远端部位及牛颈椎Ｃ２～Ｃ６作为不同结构特性之试体。并各由两相互垂直之方向旋入螺旋钉，来做拔出试验。最后并建立一三维有限元素模型，用以研究螺纹周围之变形模式及其预测拔出最大力量的准确性。模型分析中以应变能密度准则作为破坏之参考标准。

Comparison between radial bone mineral density measured by single photon absorptiometry and histomorphometric bone mass parameters measured on iliac crest biopsies

Summary Bone mineral density (BMD) measured by single photon absorptiometry (SPA) with a Moolsgard 1100^® device on the distal and proximal part of the radius was compared with histomorphometric parameters measured on iliac crest biopsies in 37 patients suffering from various bone disorders. In the whole population, a good correlation was observed between the cancellous bone volume (Cn-BV/TV) measured on iliac crest biopsies and BMD from both the proximal part of the radius (r=0.76, p < 0.001) and the distal part of the radius (r=0.73, p < 0.001). Significant, although weaker correlations, were also found between the cortical width and the BMD from the distal part (r=0.37, p < 0.001) and the proximal part (r=0.44, p < 0.001) of the radius. In the 14 untreated osteoporotic patients, only a significant Spearman correlation was observed between the iliac Cn-BV/TV and the proximal radial BMD (r=0.69, p < 0.05). It is thus not clear, whether radial proximal BMD correctly indicates cortical bone density in osteoporotic patients or not. The large internal variability of each of the two investigated methods and the small group of osteoporotic patients might explain the lack of correlation between the two methods in this group.
