The management of spinal cord compression could be improved with a working 3D model of the spinal cord under development in Scotland and the West Midlands.
To this end, a team from the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, Aston University and Edinburgh University have been awarded a joint research fellowship to develop the working 3D model to improve understanding of the management of compressive spinal cord pathology.
The fellowship is funded by Orthopaedic Research UK (ORUK), the British Association of Spine Surgeons (BASS) and the British Scoliosis Society (BSS) and the project will run for three years.
