Immediate stabilization of pedicle screws in deficient bone

Résumé des résultats (Abstract) (Allemand)

The current technology in implant fixation in poor bone quality is still far away from being perfect. The immediate stabilization system (ISS) is a product platform which will significantly improve the implant fixation in poor bone quality. ISS can be used in dental, trauma, spinal and other orthopaedic applications without any change of original implants. The aim of the submitted project is the proof of concept for spinal applications. Therefore the focus is immediate fixation of pedicle screws, which is a serious clinical problem in elderly patients as well as in very young patients and in patients with brittle bone diseases such as osteogenisis imperfect.
