As people get older, the intervertebral discs in their spine tend to deteriorate, some of which end up being surgically replaced with implants. A new patient-specific spinal model, however, could help ...

A biomechanical model of a simple lifting motion is presented in which the forces and moments of force acting about the L4-L5 vertebral articulation were determined from kinetic and kinematic data.

March 22, 2007 — Preliminary experience in 5 patients with degenerative spine disease suggests that transplantation of fresh-frozen intervertebral disks preserved motion and stability of the spinal ...

IN 1948 and 1950 Lindblom 1,2 reported his experience with diskography. In these reports he described a method of direct visualization of normal and pathologic lumbar intervertebral disks by means of ...

A groundbreaking study for the first time systematically clarifies the biomechanical effects of first coronal reverse vertebrae (FCRV) on adjacent intervertebral discs in degenerative lumbar scoliosis ...
