Artificial nucleus pulposus (ANP) replacement as an alternative to the treatment of cervical
spondylosis aims to relieve pain and restore the normal cervical motion. In this study, the …

Purpose To compare the biomechanical changes of adjacent segments between patients
with Hirayama disease and non-pathological people after anterior cervical discectomy and …

Background The decision to treat multilevel cervical spondylotic myelopathy (MCSM)
remains controversial. The purpose of this study is to compare the biomechanical …

Background Anterior cervical plate and cage fixation system (ACPC) used in anterior
cervical corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) is reported to incur excess complications. This study …

The finite element model has been used as an effective tool in human spine biomechanics.
Biomechanical finite element models have provided basic insights into the workings of the …

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 …

Degeneration of the intervertebral discs and facet joints is considered a source of pain in the
cervical spine. In this study, we developed finite element models of cervical spines that were …

Background Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) and anterior cervical
corpectomy and fusion (ACCF) are effective treatments for cervical spondylotic myelopathy …
