ABSTRACT This study developed and evaluated a new benchtop test method to measure the movements of different designs intervertebral body fusion devices (IBFDs) under cyclic loads. The experimental simulates evaluates movement resistance cages flexion-extension loads experienced by lumbar spine. present modifies previously offers possibility be more clinically relevant robust. is because it allowed for closer achievement levels IBFD rotation reported in literature introduced ability control...
Abstract Objective: The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a new benchtop test method measure the potential migration intervertebral body fusion devices (IBFDs) different designs. Methods: A proposed resistance cages under cyclic loads, which is based on movements flexion-extension loads experienced by lumbar spine. IBFD behavior four setups investigated controlled replicates combining two loading configurations foam block densities for bone substitute material. Additionally, use...
