Article Synopsis
  • Lateral hinge fractures are a major concern in medial opening wedge high tibial osteotomy, and the optimal osteotomy apex position can help reduce these risks based on finite element analysis of stress and strain.
  • A study analyzed the impact of hinge position on fracture risk across various knee models and found that hinge width and height significantly affect intra-operative stress and postoperative stability.
  • The recommended apex location should be at the height of the fibular head and hinge width should be 13% of the tibia’s medial-lateral width to minimize fracture risk while ensuring stability, applicable regardless of tibia size.

Agriculture provides an unique opportunity for the development of robotic systems; robots must be developed which can operate in harsh conditions and in highly uncertain and unknown environments. One particular challenge is performing manipulation for autonomous robotic harvesting. This paper describes recent and current work to automate the harvesting of iceberg lettuce.
