   Keywords : Knitting technology; meniscus replacement; hydrogel; Artelon®; bioprinting; biomechanical properties;

   Abstract : Meniscal tears are the most common intra-articular injury of the knee joint. Due to the avascular zone with limited blood supply, treatment of the injury is a complex process. Today, research on the development of efficient treatments and meniscal replacements is of increasing interest. READ MORE

4. 18. Treatment methods of long bone fractures in equines : comparing Swedish and foreign experience

   University essay from SLU/Dept. of Clinical Sciences

   Author : Sergey Gazeev; [2021]
   Keywords : equine; long bone; fracture; osteosynthesis;

   Abstract : The treatment of long bone fractures in horses remains to be a challenge for equine veterinarians, since it is necessary to succeed treating an animal sometimes weighing over 500kg that will have to endure fracture repair procedures and rehabilitation for at least 3 months and manage the resulting complications. The objective of this study is to investigate and shed light over some of the treatment techniques for long bone fractures in equines, and to sample new data from a questionnaire, answered by experienced equine surgeons in Sweden, summarising the obtained results with the already existing research.

5. 19. Finite Element Head ModelPersonalization by Mesh Morphing

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för kemi, bioteknologi och hälsa (CBH)

   Author : Yann Levin; [2021]
   Keywords : Biomechanics; Finite element; Head models; Image Registration; Mesh morphing; Personalization.;

   Abstract : Finite Element (FE) head models are very convenient tools forthe study of Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) but lack significantanatomical details for the investigation of morphology or age-dependantinjury mechanisms. In this context, the use of deformable registrationalgorithms for the generation of personalized head models is veryconsistent for the development of improved protection systems likehelmets.

   Abstract : Hip fractures are widely spread in today's society and affect a person's quality of life. Osteoporosis is a bone disease that results in more fragile bones and an increased risk of bone fractures, including hip fractures. A method proposed for assessing the fracture risk is finite element (FE) models of the femur. READ MORE
