Study Design. Four combinations of cable-graft-screw fixation at C1-C2 were compared
biomechanically in vitro using nondestructive flexibility testing. Each specimen was instrumented …

OBJECTIVE: This study was designed to quantify the operative exposure obtained in the
pterional, orbitozygomatic, and modified orbitozygomatic with maxillary extension surgical …

Study Design. Seven different combinations of posterior screw fixation, with or without interbody
support, were compared in vitro using nondestructive flexibility tests. Objective. To study …

Study Design. A new anchored spacer—a low-profile cervical interbody fusion cage with
integrated anterior fixation—was compared biomechanically to established anterior cervical …

Study Design. This article reports on the design and use of a new apparatus for creating
and monitoring pure, relatively nonconstraining moments to Induce flexion/extension, lateral …

Object. The purpose of this study was to compare cable techniques used in occipitocervical
fixation with two types of screw fixation. The authors hypothesized that screw fixation would …

Object. The authors sought to determine the biomechanics of the occipitoatlantal (occiput [Oc]—C1)
and atlantoaxial (C1–2) motion segments after unilateral gradient condylectomy. …

Objective. To develop a new method of representing 3-D joint angles that is both physically
meaningful and mathematically stable. Design. The two halves of a joint are modeled as …

Study Design. Correlation of locations of sacral insufficiency fractures is made to regions of
stress depicted by finite element analysis derived from biomechanical models of patient …

THE ACUTE BIOMECHANICAL effects of transoral odontoidectomy were studied by using
qualitative and quantitative methods to assess atlantoaxial motion. In vitro biomechanical …
