TL;DR: It is demonstrated that with lumbar fusion, stresses on the vertebral end-plate and the annulus fibrosus were high adjacent to the fusion level; furthermore, stresses were higher in the PLIF model than in the intact model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical analysis of the lumbar vertebrae in a three-dimensional finite element method model in which intradiscal pressure in the nucleus pulposus was used to establish the model.

TL;DR: A three-dimensional finite element method (FEM) model of the 4th and 5th vertebrae is established, using computed tomography images (2-mm slice thickness) of a healthy 29-year-old man and von Mises stress on the vertebral endplates and the annulus fibrosus is examined.
