deformity characterized by coronal curvature and rotational deformity. Predicting curve …

Femoral neck fractures represent a relatively uncommon injury in the non-elderly population
often resulting from high-energy trauma. Clinical outcome in these patients can be improved …

Cervical spine finite element models reported in biomechanical literature usually represent a

BACKGROUND CONTEXT Manual contouring of spinal rods is often required
intraoperatively for proper alignment of the rods within the pedicle screw heads. Residual …

Objective Adolescent idiopathic scoliosis (AIS) is a three‐dimensional structural deformity of
the spine caused by the disruption of the biomechanical balance of the spine. However, the …

The purpose of this computational study was to investigate the effects of neonate-focused
clinical delivery maneuvers on brachial plexus (BP) during shoulder dystocia. During …

Anterior Vertebral Body Tethering (AVBT) is a growing alternative treatment for adolescent
idiopathic scoliosis (AIS), offering an option besides spinal fusion. While AVBT aims to …
