Spine deformity
-
Biomechanical analysis of the spinal cord and nerves during scoliosis correction maneuvers through numerical simulations. ⋯ This study quantified the relative stress induced on the spinal cord and spinal nerves for different correction maneuvers using a novel hybrid patient-specific model. Of the three maneuvers studied, the Harrington distraction maneuver induced the most important stresses over the thoracolumbar region.
