I have chosen to focus on the spinal area and from intensive research i have discovered there are quite a few unfortunate diseases that have needed the help of technology to correct them. For example Lumbar degenerative disc disease, Ankylosing spondylitis, spinal deformities and arthritis. These are all unfortunate diseases but that have had the help of technology, i have been looking at the different surgical and medical ways that these are corrected. Most are done using surgical bolts and screws but one i have come across uses large staples. I find the different methods very interesting and i think i will investigate further before making my artifact.
These first 3 images are different ways and 'methods for the correction' of vertebrae.
I found these two images particularly interesting as they are alternative options and the last one is experimental.
This image below is named a pedicle-screw internal fixation.
