Finite element (FE) models are advantageous in the study of intervertebral disc mechanics
as the stress–strain distributions can be determined throughout the tissue and the applied …

Despite an increase in the number of experimental and numerical studies dedicated to
spinal trauma, the influence of the rate of loading or displacement on lumbar spine injuries …

The functional biomechanics of the lumbar spine have been better understood by finite
element method (FEM) simulations. However, there are still areas where the behavior of soft …

Purpose Pedicle screw loosening is a frequent complication in lumbar spine fixation, most
commonly among patients with poor bone quality. Determining patients at high risk for …

The cervical spine functions as a complex mechanism that responds to sudden loading in a
unique manner, due to intricate structural features and kinematics. The spinal load-sharing …

Data from two experimental studies with eight specimens each of spinal motion segments
and/or intervertebral discs are presented in a form that can be used for comparison with …

Thoracolumbar spine fracture classifications are mainly based on a post-traumatic
observation of fracture patterns, which is not sufficient to provide a full understanding of …

Background A sudden vertical impact load on spine can cause spinal burst fracture,
especially in the thoracolumbar junction region. This study aimed at investigating the …

Exposure to vibration can be harmful to the spinal column, which can cause injury to the
spine and related tissues by jolting and compressing the spinal column's vertebrae. Long …

Background Two main problems examining the mechanism of cancer progression in the
tissues using the computational models are lack of enough knowledge on the effective …
