Technological Innovation in Cervical Spine Injury and Disease Treatment: A Systematic Bibliometric Review of Current Trends and Literature on Patent Technology
Most patents before 1995 were for cervical brace and supporter devices. Since the turn of the 21st century, patented surgical fusion/fixation/stabilization devices have markedly increased. Further analysis of trends in cervical spine device technology can assist in guiding future innovation efforts.
