James D. Ralph

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

• Mechanical engineering
• Structural engineering
• Surgery

James D. Ralph mainly focuses on Structural engineering, Composite material, Pedicle screw, Screw head and Motion preservation. In the subject of general Structural engineering, his work in Nut is often linked to Spacer device, thereby combining diverse domains of study. His work in Composite material covers topics such as Engineering drawing which are related to areas like Ball, Compression, Orthopedic implant and Varying thickness.

He has included themes like Threading and Collar in his Screw head study. As a part of the same scientific family, he mostly works in the field of Collar, focusing on Lock and, on occasion, Transverse plane, Bone screws and Fixation. His research integrates issues of Coupling and Screw in his study of Head.

His most cited work include:

• Surgical fasteners and related implant devices having bioabsorbable components (647 citations)
• Polyaxial pedicle screw having a threaded and tapered compression locking mechanism (412 citations)
• Threaded polyaxial locking screw plate assembly (410 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

His scientific interests lie mostly in Structural engineering, Head, Composite material, Anatomy and Biomedical engineering. His Spring study, which is part of a larger body of work in Structural engineering, is frequently linked to Spacer device, bridging the gap between disciplines. The concepts of his Head study are interwoven with issues in Hook, Implant and Fixation.

His work in Composite material tackles topics such as Engineering drawing which are related to areas like Pedicle screw. His work in the fields of Anatomy, such as Skull and Intervertebral space, intersects with other areas such as Geology. Bone cutting is closely connected to Bone drilling in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Biomedical engineering.
