Assessing the use of finite element analysis for mechanical performance evaluation of intervertebral body fusion devices

Abstract Background Intervertebral body fusion devices (IBFDs) are a widely used type of spinal implant placed between two vertebral bodies to stabilize the spine for fusion in the treatment of spinal pathologies. Assessing mechanical performance of these devices is critical during the design, verif...
