Knee prosthesis from our partner Symbios3
On the basis of the work undertaken over 15 years at the EPFL, a team of Vincent Leclerc (Symbios) and Prof. Pierre-Franois Leyvraz (CHUV) developed a new prosthesis with an improved design compared to the state-ofthe art SImOS should show if further improvement gives advantages for the
Introduction4
The expected lifetime of a knee prosthesis is around 15 years, less for young people. A prosthesis failure requires a revision surgery, which is more complex and traumatic than the first replacement An instrumented prosthesis could help in order to:
improve the precision of the implant positioning quickly detect complications
Introduction: on the concept of the project5
Provide useful metrics for the clinicians and prosthesis designers
Correct unbalanced wearing Provide adequate rehabilitation Model force distribution Design new generation of prosthesis
Provide 3D joint angles by fusing with skin mounted sensors
Enhance accuracy Extract kinematics metrics relying on movement limitation
Provide micro-motion of the prosthesis relative to the bone
Estimate loosening using vibrating plate-form
Current needs6
Real need to get in vivo data & relevant objective outcome metrics
Inside the knee Force, pressure pain
breaks, increased t and Pwear, repartition implant loosening, osteolysis
Mobility function

Bionix kinematic knee joint simulatorBenefits
It provides the flexibility, precision, and control capabilities to replicate the complex dynamic forces and motions associated with knee movements. It simulates the relative motions of the femur, tibia, and patella, and measures the contact area and pressure distribution on the condyles. It can be used with natural tissues.
