Spinal tumors and unstable vertebral body fractures usually require surgical treatment including replacement. Regarding primary stability, however, the best possible depends on spinal region. The purpose of this in vitro study was to evaluate effects instrumentation length approach size thoracic stability entire rib cage. Six fresh frozen human spine specimens with intact cages (C7-L1) were loaded pure moments 5 Nm flexion/extension, lateral bending, axial rotation, while monitoring relative...
The motion limitation after cervical discectomy and fusion alters the spine´s kinematics. Unphysiological strains may be result possible explanation for adjacent segment degeneration. Alterations to kinematics due total disc replacement (TDR), especially two-level, are still under investigated.
Abdominal trauma (AT) is of major global importance, particularly with the increased potential for civil, terroristic, and military trauma. The injury pattern systemic consequences blunt abdominal injuries are highly variable frequently underestimated or even missed, pathomechanisms remain still poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated temporal–spatial organ immune response after a standardized blast-induced AT. Anesthetized mice were exposed to single blast wave centered on...
Abstract Purpose To evaluate effects of spinal and rib osteotomies on the resulting flexibility for surgical correction thoracic scoliosis to explore posterior fixation thoracolumbar segmental range motion lumbar intervertebral disc loading. Methods Six fresh frozen human spine cage specimens (26–45 years, two female / four male) without clinically relevant deformity were loaded with pure moments 5 Nm in flexion/extension, lateral bending, axial rotation. Optical tracking all levels (C7-S)...
Abstract Scoliosis instrumentation length depends on the type and degree of deformity individual preference surgeon. This in vitro study aimed to explore effects increasing adjacent segment mobility intervertebral disc loading. Six fresh frozen human spine specimens (C7-sacrum) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26–45 years) were loaded pure moments 5 Nm. Range motion (ROM) all segments was determined using optical tracking. Lumbar intradiscal pressure (IDP) measured flexible...
Abstract Background Effects of rigid posterior instrumentation on the three‐dimensional post‐operative spinal flexibility are widely unknown. Purpose this in vitro study was to quantify these effects for characteristic adolescent idiopathic scoliosis instrumentations. Methods Six fresh frozen human thoracic and lumbar spine specimens (C7‐S) with entire rib cage from young adult donors (26–45 years) without clinically relevant deformity were loaded quasi‐statically pure moments 5 Nm...
