Biomechanical comparison of three stand-alone lumbar cages — a three-dimensional finite element analysis
BACKGROUND For anterior lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF), stand-alone cages can be supplemented with vertebral plate, locking screws, or threaded cylinder to avoid the use of posterior fixation. Intuitively, the plate, screw, and cylinder aim to be embedded into the vertebral bodies to effectively immobilize the cage itself. The kinematic and mechanical effects of these integrated components on t...
متن کاملThe provocative lumbar facet joint
Low back pain is the most common pain symptom experienced by American adults and is the second most common reason for primary care physician visits. There are many structures in the lumbar spine that can serve as pain generators and often the etiology of low back pain is multifactorial. However, the facet joint has been increasingly recognized as an important cause of low back pain. Facet joint...
متن کاملBiomechanical analysis of the lumbar spine on facet joint force and intradiscal pressure - a finite element study
BACKGROUND Finite element analysis results will show significant differences if the model used is performed under various material properties, geometries, loading modes or other conditions. This study adopted an FE model, taking into account the possible asymmetry inherently existing in the spine with respect to the sagittal plane, with a more geometrically realistic outline to analyze and comp...
متن کاملThe Biomechanical Study of Extraforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion: A Three-Dimensional Finite-Element Analysis
OBJECTIVE Finite-element method was used to evaluate biomechanics stability of extraforaminal lumbar interbody fusion (ELIF) under different internal fixation. METHODS The L3-L5 level finite-element model was established to simulate decompression and internal fixation at L4-L5 segment. The intact finite model was treated in accordance with the different internal fixation. The treatment groups...
متن کاملThree Dimensional Finite Element
Numerical modeling of electromagnetic nondestructive testing problems has become in the last few years common enough to be considered an integral part of the engineering design practice. In particular, eddy current modeling activity has been on the increase because of the benefits afforded by such models and their relative simplicity and availability. This is certainly true for two dimensional ...
