Abstract

Most of the current available cervical disc prostheses present a flat surface instead of an arcuate surface which is most similar to the morphology of cervical endplate. Therefore, we designed a novel prosthesis (Pretic-I, Trauson) based on the physiological curvature of the cervical endplate. Biomechanical evaluation of cervical disc replacement (CDR) with this novel prosthesis was performed and compared with the Prestige LP prosthesis. Three motion segments of 18 cadaveric cervical specimens (C2-C7) were evaluated with a 75 N follower load. Overall, the biomechanics of three models, intact specimen, CDR with the novel prosthesis and CDR with the Prestige LP prosthesis, were studied to gain insight into the effective function of the novel prosthesis. The range of motion (ROM) of all three segments and intradiscal pressure (IDP) on adjacent levels were measured and analysed. Compared to the intact condition, the ROM of all three segments showed no significant difference in the replacement group. Moreover, there was also no significant difference in the ROM between the two prostheses. Besides, the IDP on the cranial adjacent level showed no obvious difference between the two prostheses; nevertheless, the IDP on the caudal adjace...Continue Reading

Biomechanics

Biomechanics examines the generation of internal forces within the body and investigates the effects and control of forces that act on or are produced on tissues. Here are the latest discoveries.
