In situ contact analysis of the prosthesis components of Prodisc-L in lumbar spine following total disc replacement.

13 Sep 2009 STUDY DESIGN: A three-dimensional, nonlinear finite element analysis was performed to predict the in situ contact interaction of prosthesis components of the Prodisc-L in a multisegmental lumbar model following total disc replacement (TDR). ... Read more...

Range of motion and orientation of the lumbar facet joints in vivo.

30 Aug 2009 STUDY DESIGN: Controlled laboratory study. OBJECTIVE: To measure the range of motion of lumbar facet (zygapophyseal) joints in vivo during various functional weight-bearing positions of the upper body. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA: Determination of ... Read more...

Biomechanics of C-7 transfacet screw fixation.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECT: The small diameter of the pedicle can make C-7 pedicle screw insertion dangerous. Although transfacet screws have been studied biomechanically when used in pinning joints, they have not been well studied when used as part of a C7-T1 ... Read more...
