AANS 2023

Reported at AANS happened in Los Angeles, where we concluded that the novel CDA reproduces natural biomechanics in these degrees of freedom when compared to a natural disc by having compression and bending stiffness within an order of magnitude of natural values. A nearly two-orders-of-magnitude stiffer in shear than natural discs, it is also. By offering comparable biomechanics in compression and bending while being significantly more stable in shear, this new CDA aims to strike a balance.
