Biomechanical evaluation of a novel intervertebral disc repair technique for large box-shaped ruptures
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the feasibility of repairing a ruptured intervertebral disc using a patch secured to the inner surface of the annulus fibrosus (AF). Different material properties and geometries for the patch were evaluated.Methods: Using finite element analysis, t...
