Bone Abstracts

Objective: It was proved that expansive pedicle screw (EPS) could significantly enhance immediate screw stability through mechanical expanding and compressing. However, there were little researches on growth of bone tissue around screw and dynamic screw stability in vivo in osteoporotic vertebrae. This study was designed to evaluate growth and microstructure of bone tissue around screw and fixation strength of screw in osteoporotic sheep lumbar vertebrae.<p class=...
