Study Design. A nonlinear three-dimensional finite element model of the osteoligamentous
L3–L4 motion segment was used to predict changes in posterior element loads as a function …

INTRODUCTION: Case reports have documented the use of titanium miniscrews in providing
skeletal anchorage for orthodontic tooth movement. Success rates as low as 50% have …

PURPOSE: To quantify and compare the disabilities caused by reduced and absent wrist
motion using objective measurements of task performance and perceived disability, and to …

Background Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) is a condition in which bone growth
irregularities subject articular cartilage to higher mechanical stresses, increase susceptibility …

Finite element (FE) analysis is a valuable tool in musculoskeletal research. The demands
associated with mesh development, however, often prove daunting. In an effort to facilitate …

INTRODUCTION: Even though the use of titanium miniscrews to provide orthodontic
anchorage has become increasingly popular, there is no universally accepted screw-placement …

It has been envisaged that advances in computing and engineering technologies could
extend surgeons’ ability to plan and carry out surgical interventions more accurately and with …

Study Design. A biomechanical study comparing arthroplasty with fusion using human
cadaveric C2–T1 spines. Objective. To compare the kinematics of the cervical spine after …

Study Design. A finite-element model of the craniovertebral junction was developed and used
to determine whether a biomechanical mechanism, in addition to inflammatory synovitis, is …

INTRODUCTION: Many case reports have documented the successful use of titanium
miniscrews for orthodontic anchorage. However, the literature lacks a well-controlled study …
