Division of Orthopedic Research, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, MN, USA
J Biomech 41:916-20. 2008..This suggests that data obtained from porcine spines which have been frozen and thawed multiple times are stable after initial freezing... - Biomechanical evaluation of posterior lumbar dynamic stabilization: an in vitro comparison between Universal Clamp and Wallis systemsBrice Ilharreborde
Biomechanics Laboratory, Division of Orthopedic Research, Mayo Clinic, Rochester, MN, USA
Eur Spine J 20:289-96. 2011..Motion at the adjacent levels remained similar to that observed in the intact spine for all three constructs.
