Despite recent developments in THA, a more objective method is needed to assist
orthopedic surgeons in identifying the insertion endpoint of the broaching procedure …

In this work, we propose a novel data augmentation method for clinical audio datasets
based on a conditional Wasserstein Generative Adversarial Network with Gradient Penalty …

Background Pilot hole preparation has been shown to have an impact on the short and long‐
term stability of the screw fixation constructs. Purpose Investigation and comparison of two …

Background Preparing the medullary space of the femur aims to create an ideal form-fitting
of cementless implants to provide sufficient initial stability, which is crucial for osseous …

Purpose Avoiding stem subsidence is crucial for achieving better outcome for cementless
total hip arthroplasty (THA). The aim of this study was to develop a prediction model for the …

Pedicle drilling is a complex and critical spinal surgery task. Detecting breach or penetration
of the surgical tool to the cortical wall during pilot-hole drilling is essential to avoid damage …

Objective: The level of primary implant fixation in cementless total hip arthroplasty is a key
factor for the longevity of the implant. Vibration-based methods show promise for providing …

Background: Uncemented femoral stem insertion into the bone is achieved by applying
successive impacts on an inserter tool called “ancillary”. Impact analysis has shown to be a …

Featured Application A decision supporting monitoring technique that informs the orthopedic
surgeon when the femoral implant insertion endpoint is reached during cementless total hip …

Background: Pedicle screw fixation devices are the predominant stabilization systems
adopted for a wide variety of spinal defects. Accordingly, both pedicle screw design and …
