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. Biomechanical analysis using a validated nonlinear finite element (FE)
model. Objective. The aim of this study was to combine the strategy of two-level hybrid …

Background: Discectomy and fusion is considered the “gold standard” treatment for clinical
manifestations of degenerative disc disease in the cervical spine. However, clinical and …

Background Biomechanical characteristics of noncontinuous ACDF and noncontinuous
CDA in the treatment of noncontinuous cervical degenerative disc disease were still unclear …

Background Hybrid construction (HC) may be an ideal surgical strategy than noncontinuous
total disc replacement (TDR) and noncontinuous anterior cervical discectomy and fusion …

Background context Surgery for cervical degenerative disc disorder (CDDD) at two
noncontiguous segments is infrequent. Few studies have explored the biomechanical effects …

Background Moderately increased motion at the intermediate segment (IS) after skip-level
fusion may accelerate disc degeneration. However, limited biomechanical data are …

Purpose Few finite element studies have investigated changes in cervical biomechanics
with various prosthesis design parameters using hybrid surgery (HS), and none have …

Recently, many different types of artificial discs have been introduced to persevere the
biomechanical behavior of the cervical spine. This study compares the biomechanical …
