Abstract
An immature calf spine model was used to undertake
anatomical and biomechanical investigations of an
anterior vertebral staple used in the thoracic spine to treat scoliosis. The study involved three stages:
(1) displacement controlled testing to determine changes in bending stiffness following staple insertion, (2) measurement of staple tip forces using strain gauges, and (3) micro-CT scanning of vertebrae following staple insertion to describe the associated anatomical
changes. The results suggest that the mechanism of action of stapling may be a consequence of hemiepiphysoidesis causing convex growth arrest.
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.
