  Comparative Study

  Impact of constrained dual-screw anchorage on holding strength and the resistance to cyclic loading in anterior spinal deformity surgery: a comparative biomechanical study.

  Biomechanical in vitro laboratory study. ⋯ Constrained dual-screw fixation characteristics in modern AISF implants can improve resistance to cyclic loading and pullout forces. DC constructs bear the potential to reduce the mechanical shortcomings of AISF.

  Assessment of intervertebral disc degeneration based on quantitative magnetic resonance imaging analysis: an in vivo study.

  Animal experimental study. ⋯ The NP voxel count proved to be a valid parameter to assess disc degeneration quantitatively in a needle puncture model. The mean NP T2-RT does not change significantly in needle-puncture-induced degenerated IVDs. IVDs can be segmented into different tissue components according to their innate T2-RT.
