Kinematically aligned total knee arthroplasty uses a femoral component designed for mechanical alignment (MA) and sets the component in more internal, valgus, and flexion rotation than MA.
Next, mechanical alignment is applied to induce anisotropic deformations in the PME-actuating films.
The idea came to Dr. Sutherland when he was visiting Steve Jacobsen, a robotics expert based in Utah, who has developed a technique for ultraprecise mechanical alignment.
New implants have been designed with attention to reproducing normal ankle anatomy, joint kinematics, ligament stability, and mechanical alignment.
We introduce numerically optimized encoded phase masks in which different optical parameters such as focus or zoom can be accessed through changes in the mechanical alignment of a ultra-thin stack of two or more masks.
Sheikh, F. A., Macossay, J. & Cantu, T. Imaging, spectroscopy, mechanical, alignment and biocompatibility studies of electrospun medical grade polyurethane (Carbothane 3575A) nanofibers and composite nanofibers containing multiwalled carbon nanotubes.
In addition to presenting a prototype implementation, we also develop a complete set of mechanical alignment and calibration procedures for utilizing orthographic projectors in computer vision applications.
Recent advances in total knee arthroplasty (TKA) include an intelligent instrument system designed to provide intraoperative guidance to reduce mechanical alignment errors.
In this paper, we present the optics design model, optimal operation parameters, analyses of aberration impact, as well as the mechanical alignment tolerance for PEEM3 separator prototypes.
Fine mechanical alignment of the sorter's plate module was facilitated by sorting 20 10-µM fluorescent beads onto the surface of transparent plate sealer (adhered to a 384w plate), making positional adjustments as necessary; 20 beads were then sorted directly into the bottom of various well positions throughout an empty plate to provide visual confirmation of counting and targeting precision.
In two of the seven legs, monofocal correction was sufficient to achieve mechanical alignment of the lower limb.
