Journal ArticleDOI
Cortical bone trajectory for lumbar pedicle screws.
Brandon G. Santoni,R.A. Hynes,Kirk C. McGilvray,G. Rodriguez-Canessa,Amy S. Lyons,M.A.W. Henson,Wesley J. Womack,Christian M. Puttlitz +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the new cortical trajectory and screw design have equivalent pullout and toggle characteristics compared with the traditional trajectory pedicle screw, thus confirming preliminary clinical evidence.
Journal ArticleDOI
Augmentation of a Rotator Cuff Suture Repair Using rhPDGF-BB and a Type I Bovine Collagen Matrix in an Ovine Model:
Christopher K. Hee,Joshua S. Dines,Joshua S. Dines,David M. Dines,David M. Dines,Colleen M. Roden,Leslie A. Wisner-Lynch,A. Simon Turner,Kirk C. McGilvray,Amy S. Lyons,Christian M. Puttlitz,Brandon G. Santoni +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an interpositional graft consisting of rhPDGF-BB (75 or 150 μg) and a type I collagen matrix was able to improve the biomechanical strength and anatomic appearance in an ovine model of rotator cuff repair compared to a suture-only control and the 500-μg rhPD GF-BB group.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomechanical Analysis of an Ovine Rotator Cuff Repair via Porous Patch Augmentation in a Chronic Rupture Model
Brandon G. Santoni,Kirk C. McGilvray,Amy S. Lyons,Manjula Bansal,A. Simon Turner,John D. MacGillivray,Struan H. Coleman,Christian M. Puttlitz +7 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that repair of a chronic tendon tear with the polyurethane scaffold mesh provides greater mechanical strength in the critical healing period than that of traditional suture anchor repair.
Journal ArticleDOI
Failure of resorbable plates and screws in an ovine model of anterior cervical discectomy and fusion
Amy S. Lyons,Blake P. Sherman,Christian M. Puttlitz,Vikas V. Patel,Celeste Abjornson,A S Turner,Howard B. Seim,Evalina L. Burger,Emily M. Lindley +8 more
TL;DR: The results of this study strongly suggest that radiographic outcomes alone may not be adequate and that gross or histologic methods should accompany radiographs in studies of bioresorbable materials in animal models.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Shoulder Tendon Repair Biomechanics Using a Polyurethane Patch in a Chronic Ovine Defect Model
Kirk C. McGilvray,Amy S. Lyons,A. Simon Turner,John D. MacGillivray,Struan H. Coleman,Christian M. Puttlitz +5 more
TL;DR: The purpose of this study was to quantitatively describe the degree of shoulder healing via biomechanical analyses using an ovine chronic infraspinatus model that was repaired with and without a polyurethane scaffold rotator cuff repair (RCR) patch.
