We sought to determine the role of lumbopelvic fixation (LPF) in treatment zone II sacral fractures with varying levels comminution combined anterior pelvic ring (PR) instability. also proximal extent LPF necessary for adequate stabilization and complex when only 1 transiliac-transsacral (TI-TS) screw is feasible.Fifteen L4 pelvis fresh-frozen cadaveric specimens were tested intact flexion-extension (FE) axial rotation (AR) a bilateral stance gliding hip model. Two severities simulated...
The two most popular models used in anatomical training for residents, clinicians, or surgeons are cadavers and sawbones. former is extremely costly difficult to attain due cost, ethical implications, availability, while the latter said not have same tactile fidelity mechanical properties as human bone. This study examined potential use of 3D-printed phantoms emulate cadaveric, vertebrae, hopes acting a future over cadavers. In so doing, we developed MedPhantom®, with intended offer similar...
OBJECT Abnormal sacral slope (SS) has shown to increase progression of spondylolisthesis, yet there exists a paucity in biomechanical studies investigating its role the correction adult spinal deformity, influence on lumbosacral shear, and impact instrumentation selection process. This vitro study investigates effect SS 3 anterior lumbar interbody fusion constructs biomechanics laboratory. METHODS Nine healthy, fresh-frozen, intact human vertebral segments were tested by applying 550-N axial...
OBJECTIVE Posterior reduction with pedicle screws is often used for stabilization of unstable spondylolisthesis to directly reduce misalignment or protect against micromotion while fusion the affected level occurs. Optimal treatment combines consistent a reduced risk construct failure. The authors compared achieved novel anterior integrated spacer built-in mechanism (ISR) alone, in combination an lumbar interbody (ALIF) spacer, cadaveric grade I model. METHODS Grade slip was modeled 6 L5–S1...
