Biomechanical preservation of lumbar spine stability and motion with an intraosseous implant following vertebral body osteotomy
The Vertiwedge, after surgical implantation, demonstrated a return of biomechanical stiffness (stability) compared to the native state of the lumbar spine specimen with all three planes of motion across various physiologic compression loads. The Vertiwedge accomplished nearly native stiffness while preserving lumbar spine motion.
