The rotation angle between the femoral and tibial components may influence the measured angle and distance between these components in 2D stress X-rays following TKA.ObjectiveThe purpose of this study was to assess the impact of the rotational angle between the femoral and tibial components on the evaluation of varus/valgus stability using stress X-rays following total knee arthroplasty (TKA).MethodsThis prospective study analyzed 48 consecutive rTKAs (three males, aged 68 ± 6.4 years; 45 females, aged 75 ± 5.9 years). Postoperative varus/valgus stress X-rays were taken at maximum manual stress during knee extension under anesthesia, and were analyzed three-dimensionally using a 2D-3D image matching technique with 3D bone and component models. The rotation angles of the components (CR angles) were assessed under conditions of no stress, valgus stress, and varus stress. Additionally, the varus/valgus angle (VV angle) between components was evaluated under the same conditions. Medial joint opening (MJO) and lateral joint opening (LJO) were also measured in both stressed and non-stressed states.ResultsThe CR angles under no stress, valgus stress, and varus stress were 9.9 ± 5.5°, 10.1 ± 6.2°, and 10.8 ± 5.1°, respectively. The VV angles under no stress, valgus stress, and varus stress were 3.6 ± 1.1°, 1.1 ± 1.4°, and 7.1 ± 1.9°, respectively. The MJO in the non-stress condition and under valgus stress were 0.0 ± 0.4 mm and 1.3 ± 1.0 mm, respectively. The LJO in the non-stress condition and under varus stress were 0.9 ± 0.9 mm and 2.9 ± 2.7 mm, respectively.ConclusionsThis prospective study revealed two key findings: (1) the CR angle in varus stress was significantly more externally rotated compared to the CR angle in the non-stress condition, and (2) no significant correlations were found between the rotational angle of the components and the VV angle, MJO, or LJO.</p>","PeriodicalId":9109,"journal":{"name":"Bio-medical materials and engineering","volume":" ","pages":"124-132"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143456746","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Compared to other treatment modalities, RFA has a higher local tumor recurrence rate due to incomplete ablation. On the other hand, to ensure complete tumor removal, multiple ablations may be necessary, but this can lead to excessive thermal damage. Therefore, improving the precision of the ablation margin control is crucial.ObjectiveThis study aims to investigate an algorithm-controlled ablation mode that can precisely control the tumor treatment margins. This mode uses temperature and impedance as feedback parameters to adaptively adjust the RF power output, ensuring both effective tumor ablation and enhanced safety.MethodsThe study conducted finite element analyses and ex-vivo bovine liver experiments comparing traditional constant power ablation and the algorithm-controlled ablation mode. Simulations primarily analyzed the temperature changes and ablation area in biological tissue, assessing the effectiveness of the two ablation modes. In the ex-vivo bovine liver experiments, temperature and impedance were monitored in real-time to validate the feasibility of the algorithmic ablation mode.ResultsThe findings indicate that the algorithm-controlled ablation mode effectively controls the rise in tissue impedance, preventing carbonization and charring. For ablation diameters of 10 mm and 20 mm, it precisely maintained the boundary temperatures within the range of 50-60°C, ensuring effective damage at the ablation margins while avoiding excessive damage to normal tissue.ConclusionThis study developed an adaptive radiofrequency ablation algorithm for treating liver cancer, using temperature and impedance as feedback parameters. Preliminary results from finite element analysis and ex-vivo bovine liver experiments suggest that for small tumors with diameters of 10 mm and 20 mm, this algorithm may provide more precise control of the ablation zone, improving efficiency and safety compared to traditional constant power ablation.</p>","PeriodicalId":9109,"journal":{"name":"Bio-medical materials and engineering","volume":" ","pages":"133-147"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143456709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
