BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Anterior corpectomy and reconstruction with bone graft and a
rigid screw-plate construct is an established procedure for treatment of cervical neural …

Study Design. In vitro biomechanical study. Objectives. This biomechanical study was
designed to evaluate the loss of endplate integrity with incremental removal of the endplate. …

Objective Transpedicular instrumentation of the thoracic spine is potentially dangerous because
of the close proximity of vital structures and the morphologic variability seen. Computed …

Objective This was designed to precisely measure motion after posterior dynamic stabilization
using Dynesys instrumentation. Summary of Background Data The Dynesys posterior …

Cervical interbody device subsidence can result in screw breakage, plate dislodgement, and/or
kyphosis. Preoperative bone density measurement may be helpful in predicting the …

Graft subsidence following anterior cervical reconstruction can result in the loss of sagittal
balance and recurring foraminal stenosis. This study examined the implant–endplate interface …

Background Cervical disc arthroplasty has become a technique for the treatment of cervical
degenerative disc disease. Clinically, the need to accurately assess the neural elements at …

Study Design This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of preoperative
computed tomography (CT) scan in predicting endplate strength. Objective To demonstrate a …

Study Design. Prospective clinical study. Objective. To evaluate the correlation between
clinical radiographic findings and sagittal range of motion (ROM) measured using …

Background context Previous ex vivo studies showed that the properties of commercial
cements modified for use in vertebroplasty are not optimal and are associated with several …
