RISCartilage Thickness Distribution Affects Computational Model Predictions of Cervical Spine Facet Contact Parameters
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: With motion-sparing disk replacement implants gaining popularity as an alternative to anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) for the treatment of certain spinal degenerative disorders, ...
Finite Element Lumbar Spine Facet Contact Parameter Predictions are Affected by the Cartilage Thickness Distribution and Initial Joint Gap Size
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Current finite element modeling techniques utilize geometrically inaccurate cartilage distribution representations in the lumbar spine. We hypothesize that this shortcoming severely limits the ...
