The cervical spine is a common site of injury in the vertebral column, with severe injuries
often associated with damage to the spinal cord. Several studies have been performed to …

A detailed three-dimensional solid model of the full cervical spine (C1–C7 levels) and the
finite element analysis method were used to investigate the extent of changes in various …

Background Quantitative bone re-modelling theories suggest that bones adapt to
mechanical loading conditions. Follow-up studies have shown that total disc replacement …

Sheep model is the most favourable choice for animal study for functional evaluation of the
cervical fusion prostheses before clinical application; however, significantly large differences …

The fourth and fifth cervical vertebrae are the common sites of injury and disc degeneration.
The interbody fusion failure was observed after fusion surgery. The postoperative effects are …

Little research has been reported on evaluating the safety of the fixation construct in cervical
kyphosis correction. In this study, we proposed a principal-strain criterion to evaluate the …

Recently, many cervical total disc replacement (TDR) devices have been introduced in a
variety of designs in an attempt to recreate motion behavior of the normal cervical spine …

joint mobility and stiffness at the craniovertebral junction. Summary of Background Data …

In this study, a detailed three-dimensional head–neck (C0–C7) finite element (FE) model
developed previously based on the actual geometry of a human cadaver specimen was …
