Abstract
"At the University of Missouri-Columbia a spinal stabilization instrument evaluation system was developed by Carson, Gaines, Glascock, Karra, and Pak [3,16] to determine the ability of internal fixation devices to stabilize fractured spines. The system was designed to measure and calculate the relative 3 dimensional movement of vertebrae allowed by a fixation device when an instrumented spinal segment is subjected to physiologically simulated loading conditions. The original version of the system was used in a previous study [3,16] to determine the stabilization ability of Harrington rods alone, Harrington rods supplemented with Edwards sleeves, and Harrington rods supplemented with sublaminar wires."--Introduction.
