Biomechanics of the Spine encompasses the basics of spine biomechanics, spinal tissues, spinal disorders and treatment methods. Organized into four parts, the first chapters explore the functional anatomy of the spine, with special emphasis on aspects which are biomechanically relevant and quite often neglected in clinical literature. The second part describes the mechanics of the individual spinal tissues, along with commonly used testing set-ups and the constitutive models used to represent them in mathematical studies. The third part covers in detail the current methods which are used in spine research: experimental testing, numerical simulation and in vivo studies (imaging and motion analysis). The last part covers the biomechanical aspects of spinal pathologies and their surgical treatment.

This valuable reference is ideal for bioengineers who are involved in spine biomechanics, and spinal surgeons who are looking to broaden their biomechanical knowledge base. The contributors to this book are from the leading institutions in the world that are researching spine biomechanics.

Includes broad coverage of spine disorders and surgery with a biomechanical focus Summarizes state-of-the-art and cutting-edge research in the field of spine biomechanics Discusses a variety of methods, including In vivo and In vitro testing, and finite element and musculoskeletal modeling

Biomechanics of the Human Spine: Basic Concepts, Spinal Disorders and Treatments, Second Edition is an essential resource for both biomedical engineers and spinal surgeons. The book is divided into four key sections, each building on the previous to offer a thorough understanding of spine biomechanics. It starts with the functional anatomy of the spine, emphasizing often overlooked aspects of clinical literature. The second section details the mechanics of spinal tissues, including testing setups and mathematical models. The third section explores contemporary spine research methods, while the final section addresses biomechanical aspects of spinal pathologies and their surgical treatments.Contributions from leading institutions worldwide ensure the inclusion of the latest research and expertise in spine biomechanics. Highlights include in-depth experimental testing, numerical simulation, and in vivo studies, such as imaging and motion analysis. The book stands out for its comprehensive approach, bridging the gap between biomechanical knowledge and clinical application. It is indispensable for professionals in the field, offering valuable insights and practical guidance for understanding and treating spinal disorders.Provides a complete reference which covers all topics related to spine biomechanics (tissue mechanics, methods of investigation, spinal disorders)Focuses on clinically relevant research questions without compromising on scientific rigourIncludes contributions from a large group of experts with worldwide recognition

Die neuesten Erkenntnisse von Unfallchirurgen, Orthopäden, Neurochirurgen, Chirurgen und Biomechanikern zur operativen Therapie des traumatischen und degenerativen Bandscheibenschadens sind in diesem Buch von Experten zusammengestellt. Als Grundlage wird der Stand der Forschung zur Pathomorphologie, Biomechanik, Diagnostik und Begutachtung des Bandscheibenschadens beschrieben. Der Schwerpunkt der Beiträge liegt in der Darstellung verschiedener Therapiekonzepte, einschließlich minimalinvasiver und computerunterstützter Operationstechniken und in den Erfahrungen mit künstlichen Bandscheiben. Ergänzt werden die Fachbeiträge durch zusammenfassende Pro- und Contra-Beiträge zur Frage, ob eine verletzte oder degenerierte Bandscheibe fusioniert werden sollte oder nicht.
