Biomechanics for spine surgery
Biomechanics for spine surgery involves analyzing the mechanical behavior of spinal structures under various loads and movements. This knowledge helps surgeons design better surgical interventions, choose appropriate implants, and develop rehabilitation protocols. Key concepts include the mechanics of the vertebrae, intervertebral discs, and surrounding soft tissues, as well as the impact of surgical techniques on spinal alignment and stability.
