Biomechanical Effect of L4–L5 Intervertebral Disc Degeneration on the Lower Lumbar Spine: A Finite Element Study

Biomechanical Effect of L4–L5 Intervertebral Disc Degeneration on the Lower Lumbar Spine: A Finite Element Study

Objective To ascertain the biomechanical effects of a degenerated L4–L5 segment on the lower lumbar spine through a comprehensive simulation of disc degeneration. Methods A three‐dimensional nonlinear finite element model of a normal L3–S1 lumbar spine was constructed and validated. This normal mode...
