Robotic Simulation of Disc Arthroplasty Surgery: Influence of Surgical Placement on Motion Segment Dynamics
… total disc replacement (TDR) designs exist for the treatment of disc pathologies. A key design parameter for a constrained ball and socket device is the location of the fixed center of rotation (COR). A previous study demonstrated that intact motion segment unit (MSU) mechanics and range of …
