Characterization of a novel caudal vertebral interbody fusion in a rat tail model: An implication for future material and mechanical testing
Background: Of the proposed animal interbody fusion models, rat caudal discs have gained popularity in disc research due to their strong resemblance to human discs with respect to geometry, composition and mechanical properties. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate an efficient, repeatable an...
