Vectors of Cofactors of a Screw Matrix and their Relationship with Reciprocal Screws
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper studies the vectors of cofactors in a screw matrix assembled by n screws and investigates the properties and different arrangements of cofactors. An augmentation screw which is linearly independent of n screws in the screw matrix is proposed and is used to relate the vector of cofactors to a reciprocal screw and subsequently to the reciprocal screw system. The paper proposes a new algebraic procedure to evaluate a reciprocal screw and the subsequent (6-n)-reciprocal screw system. The method is invariant and based upon the cofactors of the screw matrix.

Implant Removal Matrix for the Upper Extremity Orthopedic Surgeon
Orthopedic implant removal is a commonly performed procedure. While implant removal can be associated withimproved symptoms, risks of the surgery are notable. Stripped screws, broken and retained hardware, and morbidityassociated with soft tissue compromise during difficult removal are all common. Familiarity with the instruments iscritical to procedure success. The purpose of...
متن کاملThe Jacobian Analysis of a Parallel Manipulator Using the Theory of Reciprocal Screws
In this paper, the theory of reciprocal screws is reviewed. Reciprocal screw systems associated with some frequently used kinematic pairs and chains are developed. Then, the application of reciprocal screw systems for the Jacobian analysis of parallel manipulators is described. The Jacobian and singular conditions of a six-dof parallel manipulator are analyzed.

متن کاملAn investigation of tensile strength of Ti6Al4V titanium screw inside femur bone using finite element and experimental tests
The geometric optimization of orthopedic screws can considerably increase their orthopedic efficiency. Due to the high geometric parameters of orthopedic screws, a finite element simulation is an effective tool for analyzing and forecasting the effect of the parameters on the load-bearing capacity of different types of screws and bones. Thus, in the present study, the tensile strength of a typi...
متن کاملFirst Metatarsophalangeal Joint Arthrodesis: A Retrospective Comparison of Crossed-screws, Locking and Non-Locking Plate Fixation with Lag Screw
Background:Locking plate fixation is increasingly used for first metatarsophalangeal joint (MTP-I) arthrodesis. Still there is few comparable clinical data regarding this procedure. Methods:We retrospectively evaluated 60 patients who received an arthrodesis of the MTP-I between January 2008 and June 2010. With 20 patients each we performed a locking plate fixation with lag screw, arthrodesis w...
