The implementation of only one discal prosthesis SB Charité seems to restore kinematics close to that of the healthy volunteers and comparable to the literature. The implementation of two adjacent prostheses does not restore normal kinematics in 50% of the cases. It is probable that the existence of active stabilizing elements explains the difference with the in vitro studies carried out beforehand.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
