Finite element analysis (FEA) is a widely used tool in a variety of industries and research
endeavors. With its application to spine biomechanics, FEA has contributed to a better …

The cortical bone trajectory (CBT) is a novel technique in lumbar fixation and fusion. The
unique caudocephalad and medial-lateral screw trajectories endow it with excellent screw …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the stability and instrument-related
complications associated with fixation of the lumbar spine using the Short-Rod (SR) …

Background Advancements in medicine and the popularity of lumbar fusion surgery have
made lumbar adjacent segment disease (ASDz) increasingly common, but there is no …

Problems, such as broken screws, broken rods, and cage subsidence after clinical spinal
fusion surgery affect the success rate of fusion surgery and the fixation effect of fusion …

Background Transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion is an effective surgical treatment of
intervertebral disk herniation. However, its clinical efficacy for adjacent segment disk …

Cortical bone trajectory (CBT) is increasingly used in spinal surgery. Although there are
many biomechanical studies, the biomechanical effect of CBT in combination with traditional …

Introduction: Lumbar disc arthroplasty is a surgical procedure designed to treat degenerative
disc disease by replacing the affected disc with a mobile prosthesis. Several types of …

Background The academia has increasingly acknowledged the superior biomechanical
performance of the hybrid fixation technique in recent years. However, there is a lack of …

Objective To compare the biomechanical performance of the hybrid lumbar fixation
technique with the traditional and cortical bone trajectory techniques using the finite element …
