The interaction between the estrogen receptor and 5-hydroxy-7-methoxyflavanone (pinostrobin)
was studied in the presence or absence of estradiol or dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate (…

Background. High incidence of subsidence in cervical stand-alone cages was reported in
the literature. Purpose. The goal of this study was to assess the radiological outcomes of a …

Although in theory, the differences in design between fixed-core and mobile-core prostheses
should influence motion restoration, in vivo kinematic differences linked with prosthesis …

BACKGROUND: An artificial disc prosthesis is thought to restore segmental motion in the
lumbar spine. However, it is reported that disc prosthesis can increase the intervertebral …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Total Disc Replacement is an exciting alternative to fusion for
the treatment of lumbar degenerative disc disease, as it should restore the segmental motion, …

Medical devices are characterized notably by a wide heterogeneity (from tongue depressors
to hip prostheses, and from non-implantable to invasive devices), a short life cycle with …

Purpose To compare the safety and efficacy of cervical disc replacement with a non
constrained prosthesis in multilevel versus single level DDD.

… Outcomes of Cervical Total Disc Replacement with Up to FiveYear Follow-Up: A
Prospective Study of 384 Patients Jean-Paul Steib, MD1, Jean Huppert, MD2, Thierry Dufour …

BACKGROUND CONTEXT: Disc prosthesis is thought to slow degenerative changes in
adjacent levels by preserving motion. Furthermore, the disc prosthesis must replicate kinematics …

Purpose of the study: Indications for disc prosthesis is generally established on the basis of
the MRI findings (MODIC classification) and the discography. We considered that knowledge …
