Design and Development of a Novel Expanding Pedicle Screw for Use in the Osteoporotic Lumbar Spine
Pedicle screws are commonly utilized in spinal surgery; however, traditional designs often do not provide adequate fixation in osteoporotic spines. The objective of this thesis was to develop a novel expanding screw for use in osteoporotic lumbar pedicles. Helical screws capable of expanding post …
