Orthopedic surgical robotic systems in knee arthroplasty: a comprehensive review.

In conjunction with the accelerated evolution of robotics, the advancement of robot-assisted minimally invasive surgical systems is occurring at a similarly accelerated pace, and is becoming increasingly accepted. It is employed in numerous surgical specialties, including orthopedics, and has significantly transformed traditional surgical techniques. Among these applications, knee arthroplasty represents one of the most prevalent and efficacious procedures within the domain of robot-assisted orthopedic surgery.

Design of fish-scale microstructured stents and their biomechanical effects on cerebral aneurysm.

The addition of microstructures to the inner surface of the stent reduces resistance and inhibits the phenomenon of blood adhesion. In this study, the design of a fish-scale microstructured vascular stent was proposed based on bionics, and its main design parameters were optimized using the finite element method. In addition, the hemodynamic effects of a standard stent and a fish-scale microstructured stent on an ideal cerebral aneurysm were comparatively analyzed.

The biomechanical effects of different membrane layer structures and material constitutive modeling on patient-specific cerebral aneurysms.

The prevention, control and treatment of cerebral aneurysm (CA) has become a common concern of human society, and by simulating the biomechanical environment of CA using finite element analysis (FEA), the risk of aneurysm rupture can be predicted and evaluated. The target models of the current study are mainly idealized single-layer linear elastic cerebral aneurysm models, which do not take into account the effects of the vessel wall structure, material constitution, and structure of the real CA model on the mechanical parameters. This study proposes a reconstruction method for patient-specific trilaminar CA structural modeling.

Biomechanical evaluation and optimal design of a pedicle screw with double bent rods internal fixation system based on PE-PLIF fusion.

Problems, such as broken screws, broken rods, and cage subsidence after clinical spinal fusion surgery affect the success rate of fusion surgery and the fixation effect of fusion segments, and these problems still affect the treatment and postoperative recovery of patients. In this study, we used the biomechanical finite element analysis method to analyze and study the fixation effect of three kinds of spinal internal fixation systems on L4-L5 lumbar spine segments in percutaneous endoscopic posterior lumbar interbody fusion (PE-PLIF). The three different fixation systems compared in this study include bilateral pedicle screw fixation (M1); bilateral pedicle screw with cross-link fixation (M2); bilateral pedicle screws with double bent rods fixation (M3).
