Objective: The lumbar fusion is an important surgery for the orthopedic diseases. The rehabilitation might improve the outcome of patients with lumbar fusion surgery. The rehabilitation-related effects can be revealed by a systemic review and meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials (RCTs).

Recently, many different types of artificial discs have been introduced to persevere the biomechanical behavior of the cervical spine. This study compares the biomechanical behavior of single- and double-level cervical disc arthroplasty, that is "Prestige LP and Mobi-C" on the index and adjacent segment. A three-dimension finite element model of C2-C7 was developed and validated.

Article Synopsis
  • This study investigates how degeneration of intervertebral discs and facet joints in the cervical spine affects spinal disorders, aiming to improve clinical treatments.
  • Researchers created a 3D finite element model based on CT scans of the cervical spine and simulated different levels of degeneration (mild, moderate, severe) at the C5-C6 segment.
  • Results indicate that as degeneration increases, the range of motion decreases, intradiscal pressure drops in the degenerated segment while rising in adjacent normal segments, and facet joint forces increase, suggesting that degeneration affects both degenerated and normal spinal segments.

Article Synopsis
  • The finite element method (FEM) is used to create a detailed 3D model of the upper cervical spine, based on CT scan data, to study the impact of ligaments and facet joints on its stability.
  • Results indicate that the C1-C2 segment is more flexible than C2-C3, and the study computed stress levels on ligaments and facet joints during different movements.
  • Key findings highlight that the anterior longitudinal ligaments and interspinous ligaments are the most active, with maximum stress occurring on the C3 superior facet surface during extension and flexion.
