While ethical concerns associated with the use of live animals in terminal surgery laboratories have been reduced with cadaveric models, availability, and lack of pathology can limit their ability to adequately convey surgical principles and replicate clinical training. We have developed a three-dimensional (3D) custom-made silicone soft tissue tumor model using 3D-printed molds derived from canine soft tissue sarcoma computed tomography images. This novel teaching model allows users to apply surgical oncology principles and perform basic technical tasks such as incisional biopsy, margin demarcation, marginal and wide surgical excision, and inking of surgical margins. A large cohort of students in addition to a small number of professional veterinarians at different levels of specialty training followed the laboratory guidelines and evaluated the simulated tumor model based on a qualitative survey. All participants were able to successfully complete the practical training. The model also allowed the students to identify and correct technical errors associated with biopsy sampling and margin dissection, and to understand the clinical impacts related to those errors. Face and content validity of the model were assessed using Likert-style questionnaires with overall average instructors’ scores of 3.8/5 and 4.6/5, respectively. Content validity assessment of the model by the students approximated instructors’ evaluation with an overall average score of 4.4/5. This model development emphasizes the efficacy of alternative non-cadaveric laboratory teaching tools and could become a valuable aid in the veterinary curricula. }, journal={Journal of Veterinary Medical Education}, author={Cox Laws, A and Wood, M and Harrysson, O and Traverson, M}, year={2023} } @article{chambers_traverson_neal_konala_harrysson_2023, title={Performances of novel custom 3D-printed cutting guide in canine caudal maxillectomy: a cadaveric study}, volume={10}, ISSN={["2297-1769"]}, DOI={10.3389/fvets.2023.1127025}, abstractNote={IntroductionCaudal maxillectomies are challenging procedures for most veterinary surgeons.

We focus on predicting defects during electron beam melting with the black box nature of the manufacturing machine. For an accurate prediction of defects, which are rare (<2%), we extract temporal information to track abnormalities and formulate a feature selection algorithm that maximizes the expected value of a cost-sensitive accuracy. Correct identification of features responsible for the defects increases predictive power and informs manufacturers of potential corrective/preventive actions for process improvement. We solve the feature selection through resampling strategies integrated with ensemble procedures to handle data uncertainty and imbalance. Exploiting data uncertainty in our search leads to finding robust features with consistent predictive power. Our proposed methodology shows a 43% improvement in predicting defects (recall) without losing precision. Beyond additive manufacturing, this methodology has general application for rare-event prediction and imbalanced datasets.Keywords: Smart manufacturingfeature extractionsimulation optimizationrobust predictiondata uncertainty AcknowledgementsThe authors would also like to thank guiding notes from Dr.'s Chris Rock, Carter Keough, and Xiaolei Fang, and help of Santiago Volonte Morales, Hisham Abu Nimeh, and Carolyn Drahuse.Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, [EH], upon reasonable request.Additional informationFundingThis work was partially supported by National Science Foundation10.13039/100000001 Grant CMMI-2226347.

However, when plates of aluminum are friction stir spot welded together, adjacent material can deform causing a gap between layers. This research investigates how friction stir tool geometry affects the formation of interlayer gaps and the lap shear strength of the weld. For this purpose, residual stresses and microhardness were measured to characterize the weld formation process. While friction stir welding of 6061 aluminum bar stock was carried out on a machining center with three different pin diameters (5.7, 6.4, 7.0 mm) and two pin lengths (8.9, 10.2 mm). In general, outcomes of the research show that lap shear strength trends upward with increasing pin diameter but does not show a strong relation to the pin length. Interlayer gap size increases with pin length, but does not show a clear trend with pin diameter. Compressive residual stresses were observed on the weld shoulder with no significant variations occurring among the studied stir tool geometries. No significant change was measured in microhardness values when the pin length or shoulder diameter were changed, suggesting that the increase in lap shear strength is due to a change in weld cross-section instead of a material property change. This research will guide friction stir tool geometry selection for this hybrid manufacturing process and can be applied more broadly to any application where material deformation around a weld is undesirable.}, journal={IISE TRANSACTIONS}, author={Weflen, Eric and Hamilton, Jakob D. and Sorondo, Samantha and Harrysson, Ola L.

In orthopedics, the concept of patient-specific implants could be economically realized with the use of additive manufacturing. Knee and hip replacements are some of the most common musculoskeletal procedures performed in the United States. Joint replacement implants are typically offered in standard sizes and geometries. The mass customization of theses prostheses, however, can improve patient outcomes and reduce medical costs. Mass customization is not economically feasible with traditional manufacturing methods because of the high fixed tooling costs for each geometry. The freedom of design offered by additive manufacturing presents a viable production alternative for unique personal geometry. The objective of this paper is to develop two new analytic models that can be used to investigate a complex additive manufacturing supply chain. The focus of the model is to provide planning tools and a methodology for the direct production of customized orthopedic implants using electron beam melting, an additive manufacturing technology. First, a production model for an additive manufacturing-based system is created. Next, resource planning for a single customized implant system is performed using a simulation model. A queuing model is developed for rapid systems analysis. The staffing requirement predictions of the two models align closely for production of a singular, customized implant. A detailed systems analysis of an additive manufacturing supply chain is conducted to illustrate the use of these models. The queueing model is analytically tractable, so it is extended to describe the production of standard and customized versions of multiple implant families.}, journal={JOURNAL OF MANUFACTURING SYSTEMS}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Hauser, Margaret and King, Russell and Wysk, Richard and Harrysson, Ola}, year={2021}, month={Jul}, pages={500–511} } @article{spearman_irin_ramesh_rivero_green_harrysson_2019, title={Effect of pseudomonas lipase enzyme on the degradation of polycaprolactone/polycaprolactone-polyglycolide fiber blended nanocomposites}, volume={68}, ISBN={1563-535X}, DOI={10.1080/00914037.2018.1445633}, abstractNote={ABSTRACT This study describes the interaction resulting from adding pseudomonas lipase (PS) enzyme to polycaprolactone-based composites designed for orthopedic applications.

Although AM and SM offer several unique advantages, there are technological limitations such as tolerance and surface finish requirements; tooling and fixturing, etc. that cannot be met by a single type of manufacturing. The intent of this article is not to show a new manufacturing method, but rather to provide economic context to additive and subtractive methods as the best practice provides, and look at the corresponding economics of each of those methods as a function of production batch size, machinability, cost of the material, part geometry and tolerance requirements. Basic models of fixed and variable costs associated with additive, subtractive and hybrid methods to produce parts are also presented. An experimental design is used to study the influence of production volume, material and operating cost, batch size, machinability of the material and impact of reducing AM processing time. A composite response model for the unit cost is computed for the various levels associated with such engineering requirements. The developed models provide insight into how these variables affect the costs associated with engineering a mechanical product that will be produced using AM and SM methods. From the results, it appears that batch size, AM processing time and AM processing cost were the major cost factors. It was shown that the cost of producing ‘near-net’ shape through SM and AM was the decision criteria; which will be critical for tough-to-machine alloys and at multi-batch size.}, number={5}, journal={INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER INTEGRATED MANUFACTURING}, author={Manogharan, Guha and Wysk, Richard A. and Harrysson, Ola L.

The SCOR model is used to compare the traditional and the AM supply chain on the basis of different performance metrics. The formal supply chain model is used to extract operational activities so that a computer simulation model of the system can be developed. The simulation is used to model system performance so that bottleneck operations can be identified and source needs determined along with a sensitivity analysis to analyze how change in times and resources affect production quantities.}, booktitle={2016 winter simulation conference (wsc)}, author={Shouche, S. and Wysk, R.

However, the EBM process is typically associated with lower resolutions and higher surface roughness compared to similar laser-based powder bed metal processes. In part, this difference is related to the larger powder size distribution and thicker layers normally used. As part of an effort to improve the resolution and surface roughness of EBM fabricated components, this study investigates the feasibility of fabricating components with a smaller powder size fraction and layer thickness (similar to laser based processes). The surface morphology, microstructure and tensile properties of the produced samples were evaluated. The findings indicate that microstructure is dependent on wall-thickness and that, for thin walled structures, tensile properties can become dominated by variations in surface roughness.}, journal={Additive Manufacturing}, publisher={Elsevier BV}, author={Algardh, Joakim Karlsson and Horn, Timothy and West, Harvey and Aman, Ronald and Snis, Anders and Engqvist, Håkan and Lausmaa, Jukka and Harrysson, Ola}, year={2016}, month={Oct}, pages={45–50} } @article{manogharan_wysk_harrysson_aman_2015, title={AIMS – A Metal Additive-hybrid Manufacturing System: System Architecture and Attributes}, volume={1}, ISSN={2351-9789}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/J.PROMFG.2015.09.021}, DOI={10.1016/J.PROMFG.2015.09.021}, abstractNote={This paper presents an integrated hybrid manufacturing approach to enhance and accelerate the adoption of metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) by adding a direct digital subtractive process to the production that is capable of improving the form, location and position tolerance of critical part features as well as improving surface finish.

One reason is the design and fabrication freedom that these technologies offer over traditional processes. One specific feature that is of interest is mesh or lattice structures that can be produced using these powder-bed systems. One issue with the EBM process is that the powder trapped within the structure during the fabrication process is sintered and can be hard to remove as the mesh density increases. This is usually not an issue for the laser-based systems since most of them work at a low temperature and the sintering of the powder is less of an issue. Within the scope of this project, a chemical etching process was evaluated for sintered powder removal using three different cellular structures with varying mesh densities. All meshes were fabricated via EBM using Ti6Al4V powder.

One area of promise is temporal bone surgical simulation. Having previously developed a model for temporal bone surgical training using 3D printing, we sought to produce a patient-specific model for pre-operative simulation in pediatric otologic surgery. Our hypothesis was that the creation and pre-operative dissection of such a model was possible, and would demonstrate potential benefits in cases of abnormal temporal bone anatomy. In the case presented, an 11-year-old boy underwent a planned canal-wall-down (CWD) tympano-mastoidectomy for recurrent cholesteatoma preceded by a pre-operative surgical simulation using 3D-printed models of the temporal bone. The models were based on the child's pre-operative clinical CT scan and printed using multiple materials to simulate both bone and soft tissue structures. To help confirm the models as accurate representations of the child's anatomy, distances between various anatomic landmarks were measured and compared to the temporal bone CT scan and the 3D model. The simulation allowed the surgical team to appreciate the child's unusual temporal bone anatomy as well as any challenges that might arise in the safety of the temporal bone laboratory, prior to actual surgery in the operating room (OR). There was minimal variability, in terms of absolute distance (mm) and relative distance (%), in measurements between anatomic landmarks obtained from the patient intra-operatively, the pre-operative CT scan and the 3D-printed models.

Conventional stretches include hip flexion, adduction, and external rotation. Using three-dimensional modeling, we quantified the amount of (PiM) elongation resulting from two conventional stretches and we investigated by use of a computational model alternate stretching protocols that would optimize PiM stretching. Seven subjects underwent three CT scans: one supine, one with hip flexion, adduction, then external rotation (ADD stretch), and one with hip flexion, external rotation, then adduction (ExR stretch). Three-dimensional bone models were constructed from the CT scans. PiM elongation during these stretches, femoral neck inclination, femoral head anteversion, and trochanteric anteversion were measured. A computer program was developed to map PiM length over a range of hip joint positions and was validated against the measured scans. ExR and ADD stretches elongated the PiM similarly by approximately 12%. Femoral head and greater trochanter anteversion influenced PiM elongation. Placing the hip joints in 115° of hip flexion, 40° of external rotation and 25° of adduction or 120° of hip flexion, 50° of external rotation and 30° of adduction increased PiM elongation by 30–40% compared to conventional stretches (15.1 and 15.3% increases in PiM muscle length, respectively). ExR and ADD stretches elongate the PiM similarly and therefore may have similar clinical effectiveness.

However, the custom design of implant components based on patient-specific anatomy has been attempted to overcome existing shortcomings of current designs. The longevity of cementless implant components is highly dependent on the initial fit between the bone surface and the implant. The bone-implant interface design has historically been limited by the surgical tools and cutting guides available; and the cost of fabricating custom-designed implant components has been prohibitive.This paper describes an approach where the custom design is based on a Computed Tomography scan of the patient's joint. The proposed design will customize both the articulating surface and the bone-implant interface to address the most common problems found with conventional knee-implant components. Finite Element Analysis is used to evaluate and compare the proposed design of a custom femoral component with a conventional design.The proposed design shows a more even stress distribution on the bone-implant interface surface, which will reduce the uneven bone remodeling that can lead to premature loosening.The proposed custom femoral component design has the following advantages compared with a conventional femoral component. (i) Since the articulating surface closely mimics the shape of the distal femur, there is no need for resurfacing of the patella or gait change. (ii) Owing to the resulting stress distribution, bone remodeling is even and the risk of premature loosening might be reduced. (iii) Because the bone-implant interface can accommodate anatomical abnormalities at the distal femur, the need for surgical interventions and fitting of filler components is reduced. (iv) Given that the bone-implant interface is customized, about 40% less bone must be removed. The primary disadvantages are the time and cost required for the design and the possible need for a surgical robot to perform the bone resection. Some of these disadvantages may be eliminated by the use of rapid prototyping technologies, especially the use of Electron Beam Melting technology for quick and economical fabrication of custom implant components.}, journal={BMC MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS}, author={La Harrysson, Ola and Hosni, Yasser A. and Nayfeh, Jamal F.}, year={2007}, month={Sep} } @article{hildreth_marcellin-little_roe_harrysson_2006, title={In vitro evaluation of five canine tibial plateau leveling methods}, volume={67}, ISSN={["1943-5681"]}, DOI={10.2460/ajvr.67.4.693}, abstractNote={Abstract}, number={4}, journal={AMERICAN JOURNAL OF VETERINARY RESEARCH}, author={Hildreth, BE and Marcellin-Little, DJ and Roe, SC and Harrysson, OLA}, year={2006}, month={Apr}, pages={693–700} } @article{osmond_marcellin-little_harrysson_kidd_2006, title={Morphometric assessment of the proximal portion of the tibia in dogs with and without cranial cruciate ligament rupture}, volume={47}, ISSN={["1740-8261"]}, DOI={10.1111/j.1740-8261.2006.00119.x}, abstractNote={Based on the clinical observation that dogs with a steep tibial plateau slope had variable tibial morphology, we hypothesized that these dogs could be further characterized using measurements developed by examining computer generated models of specific proximal tibial malformations. A 3D tibial model was created from a normal canine tibia. The model was manipulated to reproduce two specific proximal tibial anomalies representing deformities originating from the tibial plateau or the proximal tibial shaft. Data from these models were used to create specific measurements that would characterize the shape of these anomalies. These measurements included the diaphyseal tibial axis (DTA)/proximal tibial axis (PTA) angle, which defined the orientation of the proximal portion of the shaft in relation to the tibial mid‐shaft. These measurements were then made on radiographs of dogs with and without cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture. Models with tibial plateau and proximal shaft deformities had a steep tibial plateau slope (TPS). Models with proximal shaft deformity had a markedly increased DTA/PTA angle. The model with a 10° proximal shaft deformity had a DTA/PTA angle of 11.23°. Six dogs (9.0%) had a DTA/PTA angle larger than 11.23° (range, 11.4–13.9°). Dogs in this group had ruptured CCL and a steep TPS. Dogs with CCL rupture had higher TPS (mean, 31.8±4.1°) and DTA/PTA angle (mean, 6.0±3.3°) than dogs without CCL rupture (means, 23.6±3.4° and 4.1±2.2°, respectively). Dogs with proximal shaft deformity represented a distinct group, which could not be identified using the magnitude of the TPS alone. Characterizing more precisely the shape of the proximal portion of the tibia in dogs contributes to our understanding of the pathogenesis of steep TPS and may facilitate the optimization of the surgical management of dogs with CCL rupture.}, number={2}, journal={VETERINARY RADIOLOGY & ULTRASOUND}, author={Osmond, CS and Marcellin-Little, DJ and Harrysson, OLA and Kidd, LB}, year={2006}, pages={136–141} } @article{cormier_harrysson_west_2004, title={Characterization of H13 steel produced via electron beam melting}, volume={10}, ISSN={["1355-2546"]}, DOI={10.1108/13552540410512516}, abstractNote={Electron beam melting (EBM) is a direct‐metal freeform fabrication technique in which a 4 kW electron beam is used to melt metal powder in a layer‐wise fashion.

In many cases patients treated for rheumatoid arthritis have been included in the studies and exceptional survival rates have been reported. The current study compared the cumulative revision rate of the components in 33,251 patients older than 60 years and 2606 patients younger than 60 years treated with total knee arthroplasty or unicompartmental knee arthroplasty for osteoarthritis or similar conditions. Cox regression was used to compare the risk for revision between the two age groups and between gender and the effect of year of operation. The results showed a higher cumulative revision rate for the group of younger patients in all statistical analyses and the risk ratio for revision was significantly lower for the group of older patients. The risk for revision decreased for both groups when considering the year of surgery.
