Establishment and Finite Element Analysis of a Three‐dimensional Dynamic Model of Upper Cervical Spine Instability

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 was established after CT scanning of the upper cervical spine specimen. The ligament of the specimen was fatigued to est...
