Planning the surgical correction of spinal deformities: towards the identification of the biomechanical principles by means of numerical simulation

Planning the surgical correction of spinal deformities: towards the identification of the biomechanical principles by means of numerical simulation

The set of surgical devices and techniques to perform spine deformity correction has widened dramatically. Nevertheless, the rate of complications due to mechanical failure remains rather high. Indeed, basic research about the principles of deformity correction and the optimal surgical strategies (i...
