Feasibility of the runt cow for in vivo testing of a spinal interbody prosthesis with preliminary resultsGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082, USA
J Invest Surg 25:112-22. 2012..This study assessed the feasibility of the "runt" cow for in vivo testing of human-sized lumbar interbody implants and the ability to perform common analyses of explants...- Percutaneous vertebral body cement augmentation for back pain related to occult osteomyelitis/diskitisGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, USA
Orthopedics 34:e788-92. 2011..The differential diagnosis of infectious etiology is an important consideration prior to vertebral cement augmentation for presumed fragility fracture... - In vitro biomechanics of an expandable vertebral body replacement with self-adjusting end platesGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Spine J 10:1024-31. 2010..Although some VBRs are expandable, device congruity to the vertebral end plates is imprecise and may lead to stress risers and device subsidence... 
Biomechanical characterization of an annulus-sparing spinal disc prosthesisGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Spine Surgery Division, 1950 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Spine J 9:744-53. 2009..Preliminary studies of a unique annulus-sparing intervertebral prosthetic disc (IPD) found that preservation of the annulus resulted in load sharing of the annulus with the prosthesis...- In vitro disc pressure profiles below scoliosis fusion constructsGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, MN, USA
Spine (Phila Pa 1976) 33:2134-42. 2008..Biomechanical human cadaveric study comparing straight and scoliotic spines with healthy and degenerated L4/5 discs... 
Mature runt cow lumbar intradiscal pressures and motion segment biomechanicsGlenn Robin Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Spine Surgery Division, Stillwater, MN 55115, USA
Spine J 9:105-14. 2009..Mature runt cows (Corrientes breed) may avoid these limitations...- Prospective nonrandomized comparison of an allograft with bone morphogenic protein versus an iliac-crest autograft in anterior cervical discectomy and fusionGlenn Robin Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute Stillwater, Spine Surgery Division, 1950 Curve Crest Blvd, Stillwater, MN 55115, USA
Spine J 8:426-35. 2008..This has led some surgeons to use alternatives to iliac bone graft, but often the alternatives have greater rates of nonunion and delayed union. Bone morphogenic protein (BMP) studies have found high arthrodesis rates in lumbar fusions... - Pain and disability correlated with disc degeneration via magnetic resonance imaging in scoliosis patientsGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, 1950 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Eur Spine J 17:240-9. 2008..Additionally, adult scoliosis patients may have MRI findings consistent with discogenic pain at the apex of their curvature, most commonly at the proximal lumbar levels... - The effect of spinal steroid injections for degenerative disc diseaseGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, 1950 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Spine J 4:495-505. 2004..No conclusive evidence exists to determine that spinal steroid injections give lasting improvement in patients with predominantly axial low back pain resulting from lumbar degenerative disc disease (DDD)... - Interbody device endplate engagement effects on motion segment biomechanicsGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Spine J 9:564-73. 2009..To date, there has not been a published comparative biomechanical study specifically evaluating the effects of endplate engagement of interbody devices... - Stiffness of prosthetic nucleus determines stiffness of reconstructed lumbar calf discGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, 1950 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN 55082, USA
Spine J 4:265-74. 2004..Preservation of the annulus for prosthetic disc replacement maintains the function of the annulus and may improve annulus load sharing with the prosthesis... - In vitro analysis of anterior and posterior fixation in an experimental unstable burst fracture modelPatricia M Kallemeier
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
J Spinal Disord Tech 21:216-24. 2008..A biomechanical comparison of fixation constructs in an experimental fracture model... - Treatment of lumbar disc herniation: epidural steroid injection compared with discectomy. A prospective, randomized studyGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, 1950 Curve Crest Boulevard, Stillwater, MN 55082
J Bone Joint Surg Am 86:670-9. 2004..However, epidural steroid injection did have a role: it was found to be effective for up to three years by nearly one-half of the patients who had not had improvement with six or more weeks of noninvasive care... - Lumbar disc herniation regression after successful epidural steroid injectionGlenn R Buttermann
Midwest Spine Institute, Stillwater, Minnesota 55082, USA
J Spinal Disord Tech 15:469-76. 2002..Patients in whom the disc herniation has less hydration may have prolonged symptoms, but many improve with epidural steroid injections... - Validation, reliability, and complications of a tethering scoliosis model in the rabbitPatricia M Kallemeier
Orthopedic Surgery, University of Minnesota, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Eur Spine J 15:449-56. 2006..Because this technique does not violate thoracic or spinal tissues, it may be useful in the investigation of secondary physiologic effects of mechanically-induced scoliosis, and may be scalable to larger animal species...
