Study Design. An experimental approach was used to test human cadaveric spine specimens.
Objective. To assess the response of the whole lumbar spine to a compressive follower …

Study Design. Change in lumbar lordosis was measured in patients that had undergone
posterolateral lumbar fusions using transpedicular instrumentation. The biomechanical effects …

A 3-D finite element model (FEM) of the lumbar spine (L1–S1) was used to determine the
effect of a large compressive follower pre-load on range of motions (ROM) in all three planes. …

Traditional experimental methods are unable to study the kinematics of whole lumbar spine
specimens under physiologic compressive preloads because the spine without active …

Study Design. An experimental approach was used to test human cadaveric cervical spine
specimens. Objective. To assess the response of the cervical spine to a compressive follower …

Study Design. Human cadaveric biomechanical study. Objective. To determine the fixation
strength of laterally directed, cortical pedicle screws under physiological loads. Summary of …

This study investigated the relative roles of the interosseous membrane (IOM) and triangular
fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) in the transmission of force from the hand to the humerus. …

Purpose In this article, we summarize our work on understanding the influence of cervical
sagittal malalignment on the mechanics of the cervical spine. Methods Biomechanical studies …

Background and Purpose: Traumatic spinal cord injury causes initial mechanical disruption
of tissue, leading to a complex secondary sequence of pathophysiologic changes and …

A subtrochanteric femur fracture after cannulated screw fixation of a femoral neck fracture is
a devastating complication. We hypothesized that an apex-distal screw orientation would …
