Segmental instability in degenerative disc disease is often treated with anterior lumbar
interbody fusion (ALIF). Current techniques require an additional posterior approach to …

Epidemiological and clinical studies show that the magnitude and scope of cervical disease
are on the rise, along with the world's rising aging population. From a biomechanical …

Angled screw insertion has been advocated to enhance fixation strength during posterior
spine fixation. Stresses on a pedicle screw and surrounding vertebral bone with different …

Background Bone health and fracture risk are known to be correlated with stiffness. Both
micro-finite element analysis (μFEA) and mechanical testing of additive manufactured …

Finite element models of the lumbar spine are useful in assessing biomechanics and
performance of implants. Models are often developed using the anatomy of an individual …

Background: Posterior internal fixation is the main method used for the treatment of
thoracolumbar fractures. Fractures often occur in the upper 1/3 of the vertebral body …

To investigate the effects of a clinical lytic defect on the structural response of human
thoracolumbar functional spinal unit. A novel CT‐compatible mechanical test system was …

Low back pain is a serious health concern prevalent in majority of the people around the
world, especially in case of the elderly. The root cause for this is mostly observed to be the …

Recently, vertebral tumor prediction using image-based vertebral bio-mathematical
modeling with accurate segmentation has been considered as a significant area of research …

This paper deals with the dynamic analysis of carbon nanotube with surface deviation along
its axis. The type of carbon nanotube used in this analysis is a single-walled carbon …
