The finite element method (FEM) represents a computer simulation method, originally used
in civil engineering, which dates back to the early 1940s. Applications of FEM have also …

There is an increased interest in studying the biomechanics of the facet joints. For in silico
studies, it is therefore important to understand the level of reliability of models for outputs of …

To prevent spinal and back injuries in snowboarding, back protector devices (BPDs) have
been increasingly used. The biomechanical knowledge for the BPD design and evaluation …

Background Linear elastic, hyperelastic, and multiphasic material constitutive models are
frequently used for spinal intervertebral disc simulations. While the characteristics of each …

Finite element (FE) modeling is widely used to study the biomechanical effect of material
properties, surgical procedures, and loading and boundary conditions on the lumbar spine …

For traumatic lumbar spine injuries, the mechanisms and influence of anthropometrical
variation are not yet fully understood under dynamic loading. Our objective was to evaluate …

The aim of this study was the analysis of the mechanical behaviour of a partially porous
lumbar custom-made cage by means of a subject-specific finite element analysis (FEA). The …

This review assesses the validity of a biomechanical approach using finite element analysis
in the Thoracolumbar Injury Classification and Severity Score System (TLICS) by addressing …

Dental implant may suffer transient external impacts. To simulate the effect of impact forces
on bone damage is very important for evaluation of damage and guiding treatment in clinics …

Background: Physiological curvature changes of the lumbar spine and disc herniation can
cause abnormal biomechanical responses of the lumbar spine. Finite element (FE) studies …
