Introduction Pathologic vertebral fractures are a major clinical concern in the management of
cancer patients with metastatic spine disease. These fractures are a direct consequence of …

Spine is the most common site for bone metastases. The evaluation of the mechanical
competence and failure location in metastatic vertebrae is a biomechanical and clinical …

Introduction: Pathologic vertebral fractures are devastating for patients with spinal
metastases. However, the mechanical process underlying these fractures is poorly …

The assessment of a human vertebra's stability after a screws fixation procedure and its
fracture risk is still an open clinical problem. The accurate evaluation of fracture risk requires …

The increasing development in computational technology has allowed the use of numerical
modeling and analysis to investigate the mechanical behavior of single human vertebra …

Finite element (FE) analyses contribute to a better understanding of the human lumbar
spine's biomechanics and serve as an effective predictive tool. This study aims to present …

Pedicle screw fixation is extensively performed to treat spine injuries or diseases and it is
common for thoracolumbar fractures. Post-operative complications may arise from this …

This work deals with the finite element (FE) implementation of a biphasic poroelastic
formulation specifically developed to address the intricate behaviour of the Intervertebral …

Metastatic bone disease occurs in 70–80% of advanced breast cancer patients and bone
tissue is accepted to have attractive physical properties that facilitate cancer cell attraction …
