Elastic, plastic, and total strains in human and porcine pedicle trabecular bone and PU-foam after pedicle screw insertion by utilizing functional micro-CT imaging

Creator:

Moran, Sean T.

Abstract:

Pedicle screw breakage and loosening remain as clinical complications of short segment instrumentation procedures for spinal stabilization. This study has directly visualized and measured elastic, plastic and total vertebral pedicle trabecular bone full-field strains in the regions immediately surrounding the pedicle screw during pedicle screw insertion by utilizing functional microCT...
