Journal ArticleDOI
New in vivo measurements of pressures in the intervertebral disc in daily life.
TL;DR: It is cautiously concluded that the intradiscal pressure during sitting may in fact be less than that in erect standing, that muscle activity increases pressure, that constantly changing position is important to promote flow of fluid to the disc, and that many of the physiotherapy methods studied are valid, but a number of them should be re-evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fracture healing under healthy and inflammatory conditions
TL;DR: Evidence suggests that insufficient biomechanical conditions within the fracture zone can influence early local inflammation and impair bone healing, with particular emphasis on the role of inflammation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Testing criteria for spinal implants: recommendations for the standardization of in vitro stability testing of spinal implants
TL;DR: Recommendation is that new implants and new surgical approaches should be tested in vitro for primary stability in standardized laboratory tests in order to decide the most appropriate approach before being accepted for clinical use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Magnitudes of local stress and strain along bony surfaces predict the course and type of fracture healing
Lutz Claes,C.A Heigele +1 more
TL;DR: A new quantitative tissue differentiation theory which relates the local tissue formation in a fracture gap to the local stress and strain to enable a better understanding of the complex tissue differentiation seen in histological images and the mechanical conditions for healing delayed healing or nonunions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stability increase of the lumbar spine with different muscle groups. A biomechanical in vitro study.
TL;DR: Simulated muscle forces were found to strongly influence load-deformation characteristics and showed the important of including at least some of the most important muscle groups in invitro experiments in lumbar spine specimens.
