Abstract Decompression surgery is one of the useful methods to relieve the pressure on the spinal cord and nerves [1]. In computational simulation, various bone material modelling strategies have been used to model cortical bone and cancellous bone of spinal vertebrae [2,3]. However, the effects of the bone material modelling strategies on the biomechanics of the thoracolumbar spine are unclear. Thus, this study aimed to investigate the biomechanics of the thoracolumbar spine with various bone modelling strategies using a patient-specific finite element modelling technique.
Three-dimensional finite element models of the human thoracolumbar spine were developed from the… More >
