Biomechanical Comparison of Different Numbers and Configurations of Cross-Links in Long-Segment Spinal Fixation—An Experimental Study in a Porcine Model

Abstract: Study Design: Biomechanical study. Objective: Cross-links are a type of common clinical spinal instrumentation. However, the effects of the position and number of cross-links have never been investigated in long-segment spinal fixation, and the variables have not been optimized. We conducted an in vitro biomechanical study by using a porcine long-segment spinal model with 5 different crosslink configurations to determine the optimal construct for clinical practice. Methods: Five modalities with paired segmenta… Show more
