360 Degree And Posterior Spinal Fusion Segmental Biomechanics: A Cadaveric Model
Data suggests that an anterior interbody fusion with a posterior pedicle screw construct does increase the adjacent segment motion in a cadaveric model.

A Biomechanical Study to Assess the Affect of Cervical Spine Posture on the Axial Load Bearing Ability
The cervical spine may lose its natural lordotic posture for many reasons (e.g. congenital, post-traumatic, postoperative, osteoporosis, postinfective,metabolic, and ankylosing spondylitis).

Biomechanical Assessment of Hydroxyapetite Vertebroplasty in Cadaveric Compression Fractures
Multiple strategies exist for the management of thoracolumbar burst fractures.

Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Make the Difficult Diagnosis, Then Refer for Surgery
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy is the most common types of spinal cord dysfunction in patients older than 55 years.

Cervical Spondylotic Myelopathy: Signs and Symptoms are Protean
Cervical spondylotic myelopathy can cause a variety of signs and symptoms, and no one finding is pathognomonic.

Posterior Spinal Fusion versus 360 Fusion in a Calf Spine Model: A Biomechanical Analysis of Motion at the Instrumented and Adjacent Uninstrumented Segments.
To determine the amount of segmental flexion and extension observed in a posterior spinal fusion (PSF) and a 360 degree fusion utilizing a calf spine model.

Thoracic Pedicle vs Pedicle/Rib Screw Fixation: A Biomechanical Study
Segmental fixation for thoracic deformity has traditionally been achieved using transverse process, laminar, and pedicle hook instrumentation.
