Research progress of finite element analysis in lumbar fusion surgery for lumbar degenerative diseases

Lumbar degenerative disease (LDD) refers to the normal strain of body involving lumbar bone, ligament, intervertebral disc, thereby protruding slippage, spinal stenosis and other lesions. fusion surgery has been proved be an effective strategy for treatment LDD. At present, a variety methods such as anterior posterior have reported. This article aims review discuss reported strategies LDD related biomechanical studies analyze development significance finite element method (FEM) in biomechanics. To investigate influence different surgical on spine biomechanics from perspective provide reference selecting clinical strategies.
