Biomechanical properties of lumbar vertebral ring apophysis cage under endplate injury: a finite element analysis

Abstract Objective This study aimed to compare the biomechanical properties of lumbar interbody fusion involving two types of cages. The study evaluated the effectiveness of the cage spanning the ring apophysis, regardless of the endplate's integrity. Methods A finite element model of the norma...
