The performance of a hydrogel nucleus pulposus prosthesis in an ex vivo canine model

Bergknut, Niklas; Hagman, Ragnvi; Lagerstedt, Anne-Sofie

Sammanfattning

Both on imaging and macroscopically, 9/10 NPPs appeared to have a near perfect fit and disc height was restored in 8/10 spinal segments. The NPP may thus be an acceptable treatment option for low back patients meeting the requirements for NPP treatment. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
