Spine Research Is Multidisciplinary: 25 Years of Experiences
1Institute of Orthopaedic Research, Spinal Mechanics Research Division, University of Ulm, Ulm, Germany.
Abstract:
Spine research has advanced substantially over the past 25 years through a highly multidisciplinary process. Through early work on fracture healing, osteosynthesis, tissue engineering, and joint biomechanics, researchers discerned 2 main areas of study: musculoskeletal biomechanics and musculoskeletal regeneration. Investigations of the spine continually move from the research bench-through endeavors that incorporate basic science, biology, biomaterials, mechanical testing, finite element analysis, and mathematical modeling-to the bedside-through treatments, devices, and procedures designed to improve patient health while safeguarding quality of life.
