- Hi,
-
- I am doing a class project on repair of vertebral column injuries in the lumbar
- region of the spine. I am looking at injuries such as degradation and
- herniation of intervertebral disks. My project involves looking at current
- practices, advances in treatment over a 5 year period, and a 10-15 year
- future outlook in treatment. My class is a graduate course biomaterials, and thus
- I am looking for specific material applications to such treatments. (i.e.
- improved plate and screw alloys, artificial disks, etc.).
-
- I would appreciate if someone can refer me to texts or articles which deal
- with this subject. Also if someone has any input on the future of such
- treatments, I would be interested to hear from them.
-
- Thanks very much,
-
