Abstract:Background
Although it is critical to understand the accelerated degeneration of adjacent segments after fusion, the biomechanical properties of the spine have not been thoroughly studied after various fusion techniques. This study investigates whether four Roussouly’s sagittal alignment morphotypes have different biomechanical characteristics after different single- or double-level spinal fixations.
Methods
The parametric finite element (FE) model… Show more
