Abstract
There is a need for improved understanding of the biomechanics of scoliosis surgery due to high complication rates and suboptimal outcomes. Patient-specific finite element (FE) models are becoming increasingly utilized in orthopaedic biomechanics.
While patient specific osseoligamentous geometry can be readily obtained from patient image datasets (eg. MRI,CT), material properties for spinal soft tissues are more complicated to derive for an individual patient. This paper will describe the use of Fulcrum bending radiographs to determine patient specific soft tissue properties for use in computational studies of scoliosis.
Citations:
Citation countsare sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
