Biomechanics of Interspinous Devices
A number of interspinous devices (ISD) have been introduced in the lumbar spine implant market. Unfortunately, the use of these devices often is not associated with real comprehension of their biomechanical role. The aim of this paper is to review the biomechanical studies about interspinous devices available in the literature to allow the reader a better comprehension of the effects of these d...
متن کاملBiomechanical Comparison of Spinal Fusion Methods Using Interspinous Process Compressor and Pedicle Screw Fixation System Based on Finite Element Method.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the biomechanical effects of a newly proposed Interspinous Process Compressor (IPC) and compare with pedicle screw fixation at surgical and adjacent levels of lumbar spine. METHODS A three dimensional finite element model of intact lumbar spine was constructed and two spinal fusion models using pedicle screw fixation system and a new type of interspinous devices, IPC,...
متن کاملAnalysis of the Biomechanical Characteristics of the Spinal Interspinous Implants
Spinal decompression surgery with spinal fusion is a widely used surgical procedure for the treatment of degenerative spine in the lumbar spine. However, it has been known that spinal decompression surgery causes the spinal instability. Some cadaveric and finite element (FE) studies have reported that adjacent segment degeneration may reduce adverse effects on the adjacent levels resulting from...
متن کاملSecurity testing of session initiation protocol implementations
The mechanisms which enable the vast majority of computer attacks are based on design and programming errors in networked applications. The growing use of voice over IP (VOIP) phone technology makes these phone applications potential targets. We present a tool to perform security testing of VOIP applications to identify security vulnerabilities which can be exploited by an attacker. Session Ini...
