Vertebral body replacement is still a challenge for spine surgeons, burdened by 45 % complication rate, and posing a huge healthcare, societal, and also, economic impact. Among the complications, surgical site infections are particularly critical and difficult to treat. Poor bone regeneration and mechanical instability are further issues, also correlated with infections.         

WHAT IS NMSBUILDER? nmsBuilder is a freely-available software application to process biomedical data and create subject-specific musculoskeletal models for OpenSim.

Le lesioni condrali e osteocondrali rappresentano uno dei principali problemi in ortopedia in quanto coinvolgono l’articolazione e colpiscono non solo la cartilagine ma anche il tessuto osseo subcondrale. Le tecniche utilizzate per trattare le lesioni osteocondrali (quali microfratture, drilling) possono contribuire a rigenerare il tessuto cartilagineo che comunque perde importanti proprietà biomeccaniche che portano alla degenerazione della cartilagine e al rimodellamento del tessuto osseo.
