Implication

Preclinical study demonstrates a minimally invasive spinal contusion platform in mice, indicating improved experimental reproducibility and reduced surgical trauma.

Key Points

To establish a reproducible mouse model of contusive spinal cord injury using a minimally invasive surgical technique and a specialized stabilization device.
Used a novel integrated SCI coaxial platform to expose the T9 level spinal cord through a minimally invasive surgical pathway.
Immobilized and stabilized the mouse vertebra using a dedicated vertebral stabilizer to maintain anatomical morphology.
Applied graded contusion impacts to the spinal cord using a coaxial gravity impactor and performed histological evaluations.
Minimally invasive exposure avoided collateral surgical injury and preserved consistent anatomical morphology during procedures.
Coaxial gravity impact reliably generated variable, graded severities of T9 spinal cord contusion as confirmed by histological assessment.
