Study Design. Cadaveric animal laboratory study. Objective. To evaluate the feasibility and
accuracy of pedicle cannulation using an augmented reality surgical navigation (ARSN) …

In the expensive structural optimization, the data-driven surrogate model has been proven to
be an effective alternative to physical simulation (or experiment). However, the static …

The treatment of fractured bones imperatively requires an orthopaedic bone drilling
procedure. During the drilling of fracture bone, induced cutting force and temperature …

In the manufacturing and assembly of aerospace thin-walled components (ATCs), the
rational optimization of part tolerances is crucial for improving the outer shape assembly …

Abstract Background and Objective Bone screw fixation can be estimated with several test
methods such as insertion torque, pull-out, push-in and bending tests. A basic …

Threads of modern pedicle screws can vary greatly in design. It is difficult to assess which
interplay of design features is particularly advantageous for screw anchorage. This study …

Although an independent metamodel may be used to accurately describe certain response
relationships, it can be challenging to find suitable metamodels for various problems. The …

Methods Pullout studies were carried out on rigid polyurethane foam, representing
extremely osteoporotic to normal bone for different insertion depths and angles of a pedicle …

This study aimed to examine breakage risk of the bilateral pedicle screw (BPS) fixation
system under static and vibration loadings after three different types of lumbar interbody …

Pedicle screw fixation and fusion are the gold standard for the treatment of spinal instability.
Screw failures such as pullout and breakages have been reported during the past several …
