Biomechanical properties of a novel nonfusion artificial vertebral body for anterior lumbar vertebra resection and internal fixation

Abstract The aim of the study was to evaluate the biomechanical properties of a novel nonfused artificial vertebral body in treating lumbar diseases and to compare with those of the fusion artificial vertebral body. An intact finite element model of the L1–L5 lumbar spine was constructed and validat...
