Advanced structure design for energy absorption is a long‐lasting pursuit due to its fascinating scientific merit in mechanics and important engineering application. Curves, a type of mathematical variation in geometry, are widely adopted in the biological system and biomaterial structures after long‐time nature evolution toward optimization and adaption. Inspired by nature, a novel type of tubular...
Lumbar discectomy is usually a successful operation with a relatively low cost. Potential adjunctive procedures, such as repairing the anulus fibrosus or nucleus replacements, necessitate a cost-benefit analysis.This economic analysis was performed to understand the potential value of advanced implantable technologies designed to improve outcomes after discectomy.Using an insurance claims–based database,...
Intraoperative monitoring of the spinal cord can be conducted using stimulation of the posterior tibial nerve and recording from the scalp or neck. These techniques, similar to that used in the outpatient setting, can be conducted in the operating room. Certain inhalation anesthetic agents must be avoided or used in low doses for this technique. Monitoring is straight forward and noninvasive using...
