Experimental Evaluation of Screw Pullout Force and Adjacent Bone Damage According to Pedicle Screw Design Parameters in Normal and Osteoporotic Bones

This paper proposes an optimum design of the pedicle screw with respect to bone density and variables of the screw design. First, pedicle screws are designed and manufactured with design variables including the core diameter and conical angle that affect the pullout force of the pedicle screw. Varia...
