Wang, Ziyi (author)Orthopedic surgeries are identified as one of the most noisy surgeries inside the OR (operation room). The highest noise sound level could reach up to around 130 dB, which is harmful to patients’ well-being and are likely to evoke negative feelings during surgery. In the previous study investigating the emotional experience of patients who...master thesis 2023

(author)In orthopedic surgery, patient-specific bone plates are used for fixation when conventional bone plates do not fit the specific anatomy of a patient. However, plate failure can occur due to a lack of properly established design parameters that support optimal biomechanical properties of the plate. This review provides an overview of design...review 2023

Roosens, Victor (author)<b>Background:</b> Low bone quality associated with osteoporosis is an increasing health issue. The reduction in bone quality increases the risk of bone fractures and implant failure in osteosynthesis. Implant failure can be avoided by adapting the surgical procedure and postoperative care to the bone quality. This requires knowledge of the...master thesis 2022

(author)We designed and fabricated a simple setup for the controlled crumpling of nanopatterned, surface-porous flat metallic sheets for the fabrication of volume-porous biomaterials and showed that crumpling can be considered as an efficient alternative to origami-inspired folding. Before crumpling, laser cutting was used to introduce pores to the...journal article 2022

Salandova, M. (author), van Hengel, I.A.J. (author), Apachitei, I. (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), van der Eerden, B.C.J. (author), Fratila-Apachitei, E.L. (author)Aseptic loosening of a permanent prosthesis remains one of the most common reasons for bone implant failure. To improve the fixation between implant and bone tissue as well as enhance blood vessel formation, bioactive agents are incorporated into the surface of the biomaterial. This study reviews and compares five bioactive elements (copper,...review 2021

Minnaard, Jeffrey (author), Kleipool, Roeland P. (author), Baars, Wim (author), Dankelman, J. (author), Stufkens, Sjoerd (author), Horeman, T. (author)Aims: Resection of bone is performed in over 75% of all orthopaedic procedures and the electrically powered oscillating saw is commonly used to cut bone. Drawbacks are relatively large incisions and tissue damage due to overshooting often occur. Therefore, the goal of this study is to develop an improved bone-cutting system that has minimally...journal article 2021

van Poll, Mathijs (author)Orthopedic implants used for total joint replacements are under a high clinical demand. Although most total joint replacements are successful, premature failures are still affecting tens of thousands of people annually. The major causes of implant failure are aseptic loosening and bacterial infections. To overcome these issues, multifunctional...master thesis 2019

Dijkmans, Floor (author)Prosthetic failure due to implant-associated infections remains a big problem, despite the extensive use of implants and number of researches performed on this topic. A new problem arises with the development of additively manufactured complex orthopedic metal implants. In spite of the advantages that come with patient specific implants to cure...master thesis 2019

Gurram, Nitin (author)The learning curve of novice surgeons takes about 25 surgeries to be proficient at the knee replacement procedure. So it is not just enough if we design efficient and more ergonomic surgical tools, it is also important to provide a learning platform for them to get better before they operate on a real patient. Although many training simulators...master thesis 2019

Minnaard, Jeffrey (author)Currently, orthopaedic surgeons in theAMC (AcademicMedical Centre) in Amsterdam, use an oscillating saw when a bone needs to be sectioned. During these surgeries, which are performed with open surgery, clamps are placed around the bone to protect the surrounding soft tissue from accidental jumping<br/>of the saw blade. These clamps however do...master thesis 2018
