Computational modeling of trabecular bone indentation and development of a new test method to perform unconstrained load-induced subsidence of an intervertebral body fusion device
(University of Waterloo, 2024-04-24)Intervertebral body fusion devices (“interbody cages”) used in spinal surgeries are susceptible to axial and/or rotational subsidence into the underlying trabecular bone of the spinal vertebrae. Despite the variety of ... -
Numerical Modelling of the Human Cervical Spine in Frontal Impact
(University of Waterloo, 2006)Motor vehicle accidents continue to be a leading cause of cervical spine injury despite a conscientious effort to improve occupant safety. Accurately predicting occupant head and neck response in numerical crash simulations ...
