Magnetic Needle Performs Less Invasive, More Precise Surgery and Diagnostic Tests
A team of researchers at the Johns Hopkins Whiting School of Engineering (Baltimore, MD, USA) have demonstrated for the first time that untethered magnetic needles can be forceful enough to accomplish surgery. The researchers call their device the "Pulse Actuated Collisions for Tissue-penetrating Needle," or MPACT-Needle. More...25 Apr 2022


Surgical Method Could Be Game Changer for Patients with Degenerative Cervical Spine Disease
A new surgical technique could increase the stiffness of the construct and reduce the incidence of clinical and fusion failure following anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF), which in turn, could decrease the need for revision surgeries or supplemental posterior realignment.
