RISBiomechanical Evaluation of an Endplate Conformed Polycaprolactone Hydroxyapatite Intervertebral Fusion Graft and Its Comparison With a Typical Nonconformed Cortical Graft
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the thoracolumbar region, between 7% and 30% of spinal fusion failures are at risk for pseudarthrosis. From a biomechanical perspective, the nonconformity of the intervertebral graft to the endplate surface could ...
A Computational Biomechanical Investigation of Posterior Dynamic Instrumentation: Combination of Dynamic Rod and Hinged (Dynamic) Screw
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Currently, rigid fixation systems are the gold standard for degenerative disk disease treatment. Dynamic fixation systems have been proposed as alternatives for the treatment of a variety of spinal disorders. These systems ...
Finite Element Model of the Knee for Investigation of Injury Mechanisms: Development and Validation
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Multiple computational models have been developed to study knee biomechanics. However, the majority of these models are mainly validated against a limited range of loading conditions and/or do not include sufficient details ...
Spinal Balance/Alignment—Clinical Relevance and Biomechanics
Publisher: American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the anatomy of a normal spine, due to the curvatures in various regions, the C7 plumb line (C7PL) passes through the sacrum so that the head is centered over the pelvic-ball and socket hip and ankle joints. A failure ...
