Spinal Fracture Treatment using Biological Cement
Posted by Debbi Cohen on Thu, May 12, 2011 @ 09:10 AM
Materials scientists have developed a range of biological cements that could be injected into spinal fractures incurred through major impacts such as car crashes.
So-called ‘burst fractures’ of the vertebrae occur when the spine is subjected to considerable compression stresses, such as those incurred in a car crash or falling from a ladder. Read more...
