RISMechanical and in Vitro Testing of a Biomechanically Fidelic, Compliant Mechanism Based, Motion-Preserving Lumbar Interbody Device
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A common approach to resolving discogenic low back pain involves replacing one or more degenerated spinal discs with a total disc replacement device. However, existing solutions for intervertebral disc replacement are ...
The Interior Contact-Aided Rolling Element
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This work introduces an interior contact-aided rolling element (I-CORE) compliant mechanism that draws upon the concepts used for the contact-aided rolling element, cross-axis flexural pivot, and pre-curved flexible beam. ...
Leveraging Compliance to Design a Minimally Invasive, Expandable Interbody Cage Capable of Customized Anatomical Fit for Spinal Fusion Surgery
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: As spinal fusion surgery continues to transition to less invasive techniques, there remains an unmet need for ever smaller and more complex interbody cages to meet the unique needs of this difficult surgery. This work ...
