Biomechanical evaluation of a dynamic fusion cage design for cervical spine: A finite element study

Spinal interbody fusion is the most common surgery for treatment of disc degeneration, but the increased stress and compensatory range of motion at adjacent level have been noted. The dynamic cage design becomes an alternative strategy for dealing with problem of disc degeneration while the bony fus...
