La distracción osteogénica es una técnica que permite generar nuevo tejido óseo a partir de la separación gradual de dos fragmentos óseos. Desde que se introdujo en la ortopedia por G. A. Ilizarov, esta técnica ha ido ganando popularidad. De hecho, las aplicaciones de este proceso son muy numerosas: tratamiento de deformidades craneofaciales o...

Tissue engineering is an emerging field of research which combines the use of cell-seeded biomaterials both in vitro and/or in vivo with the aim of promoting new tissue formation or regeneration. In this context, how cells colonize and interact with the biomaterial is critical in order to get a functional tissue engineering product....

Bone tissue engineering is currently a mature methodology from a research perspective. Moreover, modeling and simulation of involved processes and phenomena in BTE have been proved in a number of papers to be an excellent assessment tool in the stages of design and proof of concept through in-vivo or in-vitro experimentation. In this paper, a...

This study establishes an already defined and tested method to grade exercises of kinematics and dynamics within the course entitled "Theory of Machines and Mechanisms" of the Industrial Technologies Engineering Degree at the Seville School of Engineering (Spain). Particular emphasis is made on the automation of grading and personalization of...

La distracción osteogénica, es una técnica que permite generar nuevo tejido óseo a partir de la separación gradual de dos fragmentos óseos. Aunque se han realizado numerosos estudios experimentales sobre el proceso de distracción, no se ha analizado cuantitativamente la evolución de la rigidez del callo durante el proceso de...

It is established that bone tissue adapts and responds to mechanical loading. Several studies have suggested an existence of positive influence of vibration on the bone mass maintenance. Thus, some bone regeneration therapies are based on vibration of bone tissue under circumstances of disease to stimulate its formation. Frequency of loading...

Magnesium-based biomedical implants offer many advantages versus traditional ones although some challenges are still present. In this context, mathematical modeling and computational simulation may be a useful and complementary tool to evaluate in silico the performance of magnesium biomaterials under different conditions. In this paper, a...

Woven tissue is mainly present in the bone callus, formed very rapidly either after a fracture or in distraction processes. This high formation speed is probably responsible for its disorganized microstructure and this, in turn, for its low stiffness. Nonetheless, the singular volumetric composition of this tissue may also play a key role in...
