Implications of noise and resolution on mechanical properties of trabecular bone estimated by image-based finite-element analysis.

29 Sep 2009 Recent advances in micro-magnetic resonance imaging (microMRI) now allow noninvasive assessment of mechanical properties of trabecular bone (TB) in vivo by micro finite-element analysis. The first aim of this work was to address the implications of ... Read more...

Complete Freund's adjuvant-induced intervertebral discitis as an animal model for discogenic low back pain.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: Although numerous animal models for low back pain associated with intervertebral disk (IVD) degeneration have been proposed, insufficient data have been provided to make any conclusions regarding pain. Our aim in this study was to ... Read more...

Treatment of spinal deformities in patients with diastrophic dysplasia: a long-term, population based, retrospective outcome study.

13 Sep 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A long-term, population based, retrospective follow-up study. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate long-term outcomes of brace and surgical treatment for spinal deformities in patients with diastrophic dysplasia (DD). SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: ... Read more...
