It is the most prevalent subtype of OA in the Netherlands. In treating end-stage knee OA, the knee joint can be replaced with an artificial joint, known as total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Over the last decades, computer technology has been developed for surgical planning to improve the accuracy and precision of component alignment, also called computerassisted surgery (CAS). CAS for TKA can be classified into three types: CAS navigation, patient-specific instrumentation (PSI), and robotic devices Supervisor: Prof. dr. L.W. van Rhijn Co-supervisors: Dr. N.P.

How knee joint dynamics can improve therapy in case of tibial fractures At this year’s WCCM conference, Fraunhofer MEVIS scientist Elin Theilen will be giving a talk on “Prediction of patient-specific knee joint dynamics in tibial fractures.” She will showcase a simplified knee joint model based on position-based dynamics (PBD) for predicting individual knee joint motion, verified against finite element (FE) models. Why does this matter? The smooth interaction between the knee joint and tibia is crucial for our mobility. The tibia supports a significant portion of our body weight and is key to enabling and stabilizing knee joint functionality. Unfortunately, it is also prone to fractures as a result of osteoporosis or injuries. In clinical practice, understanding tibia fractures within knee dynamic analysis is vital for improving surgery planning and outcomes.

𝗗𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗡𝗲𝘂𝗿𝗼-𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲𝘀 🧠: ✅Brainomix 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗨𝗦 𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝘃𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗱𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗵𝗻𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆 𝗶𝗻 𝘀𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 Brainomix has announced new data from studies presented this week at the Society of NeuroInterventional Surgery (SNIS) annual meeting. 🚀 Here are the key findings presented from Brainomix recent studies: 1️⃣ Predicting Clot Recanalisation Success: In collaboration with West Virginia University, our Brainomix 360 e-ASPECTS tool analysed baseline NCCT scans to identify hyperdense clots and their lengths, showing these #biomarkers can predict successful recanalisation in large vessel #stroke patients. 2️⃣ Detecting Large Vessel Occlusion: Partnering with Mayo Clinic, West Virginia University, and Boston Medical Center, their Triage Stroke tool was validated as a reliable method for detecting #LVO in #acuteischemicstroke. Coupled with NIHSS scores, it can aid in identifying candidates for #thrombectomy, particularly in resource-constrained settings. 3️⃣ Predicting Futile Recanalisation: Collaborating with Mayo Clinic and West Virginia University, Brainomix used their 360 e-ASPECTS to quantify #ischaemic core volume and #hypoattenuation depth via net water uptake (NWU) from baseline CT scans. Results indicate that NWU can help identify patients at risk of futile recanalisation, especially those with large cores. https://lnkd.in/euQpwvdy

🌟 Curious about the Origins of MaxFi?🌟 MaxFi, led by Joss Fernandez, is transforming the field of hyper-realistic surgical simulations. Dr. Fernandez, a highly experienced surgeon triple-boarded in cardiothoracic, vascular, and general surgery, brings a wealth of expertise from Boone Health in Columbia, Missouri. MaxFi was established in November 2014 following innovative cadaver perfusion techniques deployed by Dr. Ed Garrett Jr. After an initial phase of conceptualization, the company gained significant traction in 2016-2017 when Dr. Fernandez conducted groundbreaking experiments using pig hearts, providing initial validation following years of development. Dr. Fernandez further validated his techniques with cadaver dogs, overcoming considerable challenges in tissue perfusion, resulting in several patented technologies. Between 2018-2020, MaxFi expanded its operations and began collaborations with pre-eminent entities in the military such as the Air Force Parajumper special forces. In response to the pandemic, MaxFi adapted and emerged in 2021 as a respected simulation company, strategically shifting towards service provision. The appointment of Robert G. Mills as CEO in 2023 marked a significant milestone, propelling MaxFi into a commercialization-ready enterprise. From the humble beginnings of a garage, we are crafting a story of greatness in surgical simulation technology. Join us as we continue to innovate and shape the future of surgical simulations! 🚀 #Innovation #Surgery #Healthcare #Medicine #MedicalTechnology

A new study in PDM investigated the effectiveness of Doppler ultrasound (USG) and computerized tomography angiography (CTA) in evaluating patients with crush injuries after earthquakes. Researchers analyzed 11 patients who suffered crush injuries after an earthquake. Doppler USG and, when necessary, CTA were used to assess the patient's condition. The findings showed that Doppler USG reliably detected vascular injuries without needing contrast agents and offered a safer alternative to CTA. This method accurately identified issues such as blood vessel damage, aiding in determining necessary treatments like surgery or dialysis. The study underscores the importance of using advanced imaging techniques in emergency situations like earthquakes, enabling medical teams to quickly assess and treat injuries while reducing risks associated with contrast agents, thereby improving patient outcomes. It also highlights the importance of further research to establish clear guidelines for imaging in similar high-stress scenarios.

🌟 Research #Highlight: Comparing aHKA Measurement: Radiographs vs. CT We're thrilled to share a groundbreaking study on the reliability of Arithmetic #Hip #Knee Angle (aHKA) measurement in pre-operative #alignment for total knee arthroplasty (TKA)! 📝 Arithmetic Hip Knee Angle Measurement on Long Leg Radiograph Versus Computed Tomography—Inter-Observer and Intra-Observer Reliability 👨⚕️ Tom Jan Gieroba, Sofia Marasco, Sina Babazadeh, Claudia Di Bella, & Dirk van Bavel 🔍 This study evaluates the reproducibility of aHKA measurement on long leg radiographs (LLR) and robotic-assisted #TKA planning CT. With 68 TKA patients, the findings reveal that CT measurements of MPTA, LDFA, and aHKA are more reproducible and correlate well with LLR measurements. CT scans help overcome challenges with positioning and rotation, potentially eliminating the need for LLRs in assessing coronal plane alignment. 🔗 Click to dive into the full study: https://lnkd.in/g5CFhFtb #Arthroplasty #TKA #Orthopedics #MedicalResearch #Radiology

You will find the “origins” of the anatomical SYNTAX Score & CABG SYNTAX Score AND “future directions” of decision-making for reasonable revascularization here. 👉 https://lnkd.in/gmtzVi9B 1960-1970s: The average coronary blood flow was assumed to be 96 ml per 100 g of left ventricular muscle. Based on the difference in myocardial mass, it was assumed that the LAD carries approximately 3.5 times and the LCX 1.5 times as much blood as the RCA. At that time, the assumptions of myocardial mass were based on studies which assessed roentgenograms of ventricular myocardium post-mortem, or clearance rates of radioactive gas from the myocardium of animals and man… 2023: For quantification of the completeness of revascularization after CABG, "CCTA-based CABG SYNTAX Score: a tool to evaluate completeness of coronary segment revascularization after bypass surgery" And into the FUTURE, 2024-: Prospects of the quantitative assessment of myocardial perfusion after CABG ⬇ ⬇ ⬇
