Many experimental testing techniques have been adopted in order to provide an
understanding of the biomechanics of the human intervertebral disc (IVD). The aim of this …

Ultrasound enhances drug delivery into the central nervous system (CNS) by opening
barriers between the blood and CNS and by triggering release of drugs from carriers. A key …

The facet joint is a crucial anatomic region of the spine owing to its biomechanical role in
facilitating articulation of the vertebrae of the spinal column. It is a diarthrodial joint with …

Thirteen patients with fractures and/or dislocations of the middle and lower cervical spine
were treated by transpedicular screw fixation using the Steffee variable screw placement …

Study Design. Retrospective evaluation of complications in 180 consecutive patients with
cervical disorders who had been treated by using pedicle screw fixation systems. Objectives …

Study Design. The function of neck muscles was quantified by incorporating experimentally

Since the publication of the 2nd edition of White and Panjabi׳ s textbook, Clinical
Biomechanics of the Spine in 1990, there has been considerable research on the …

Study Design. Biomechanical comparison of the pull-out strengths of lateral mass and
pedicle screws in the human cervical spine. Measurements of pedicle dimensions and …

Objective. The responses and contributions of the soft tissue structures of the human neck
are described with a focus on mathematical modeling. Spinal ligaments, intervertebral discs …

New spinal implants and surgical procedures are often tested pre-clinically on human
cadaver spines. However, the availability of fresh frozen human cadaver material is very …
