Abstract:Bone fractures can be detected by analyzing vibration signals following bone stimulation. This method can also be applied to detect stress fractures, such as spondylolysis. The aim of this study was to investigate whether vibration signal analysis can be used to detect lumbar spondylolysis in synthetic bone. Four synthetic spondylolysis models of the fifth lumbar vertebra (Sawbones, product No. SAW1352-10: Malmö, Sweden) were prepared, with the following conditions: intact, unilateral defect, and bilateral def… Show more
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.
