DOI: 10.1186/s12891-022-05121-2
Abstract: Background Cervical disc prostheses are used to preserve motion after discectomy, but they should also provide a near-physiological qualitative motion pattern. Nevertheless, they come in many completely different biomechanical concepts. This caused us to perform… read more here.
