RISA New Method to Intra Operatively Measure Local Bone Strength in Osteoporotic Bone Using a Modified Surgical Tool
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The aim of this study was to test a novel method for intraoperative assessment of osteoporotic bone fracture strength using a surgical tool instrumented with a strain gauge and compare the device with cortical width (CW) ...
Assessment of Pedicle Bone Strength in the Lumbar Spine Using a “Smart†Ball Tip Probe
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Preoperative assessment of bone mineral density (BMD) via dual Xray absorptiometry (DEXA) has been shown to help determine the need for screw augmentation, particularly in the pedicle. However, patients frequently present ...
