Biomechanical testing of a polymer-based biomaterial for the restoration of spinal stability after nucleotomy
<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Surgery for disc herniations can be complicated by two major problems: painful degeneration of the spinal segment and re-herniation. Therefore, we examined an absorbable poly-glycolic acid (PGA) biomaterial, which was lyophilized wit...
