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 …

The cervical spine poses many complex challenges that require complex solutions. Anterior
cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been one such technique often employed to …

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 …

Conventional cage and plate (CCP) implants usually used in ACDF surgery, do have
limitations such as the development of postoperative dysphagia, adjacent segment …

Epidemiological and clinical studies show that the magnitude and scope of cervical disease
are on the rise, along with the world's rising aging population. From a biomechanical …

Cervical spine finite element models reported in biomechanical literature usually represent a
static morphology. Not considering morphology as a model parameter limits the predictive …

Introduction: Anterior cervical discectomy and fusion (ACDF) has been considered as the
gold standard surgical treatment for cervical degenerative pathologies. Some surgeons tend …

Objectives To establish a dynamic three‐dimensional (3D) model of upper cervical spine
instability and to analyze its biomechanical characteristics. Methods A 3D geometrical model …
