Finite element model reveals the involvement of cartilage endplate in quasi-static biomechanics of intervertebral disc degeneration

Background and objective: The intrinsic link between the compositional and structural attributes and the biomechanical functionality is evident in intervertebral discs. However, it remains unclear from a biomechanical perspective whether cartilage endplate (CEP) degeneration exacerbates intervertebr...
