The minipig as a potential model for pedicle screw fixation: morphometry and mechanics

Abstract Background While there are several different animal models for use in the characterization of spinal fixation, none have emerged as a definitive model for comparative studies in spinal fixation methods. The purpose of this study is to establish morphometric data of porcine vertebrae and to...
