Abstract:Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the biomechanical characteristics of the lumbar posterior dynamic devices: the Dynesys system and the BioFlex system. Methods: We validated the FE model of an lumbar spine (L3-S1) established by transferring the data, collected by 3D CT scan, to the FE software ABAQUS and comparing these data with the data from published studies. Then, were reconstructed by the lumbar posterior dynamic devices to analyze the range of motion (ROM) and stress distribution on th… Show more
