Biomechanics of extreme lateral interbody fusion with different internal fixation methods: a finite element analysis

Abstract Background Establishing a normal L3–5 model and using finite element analysis to explore the biomechanical characteristics of extreme lateral interbody fusion (XLIF) with different internal fixation methods. Method The L3–5 CT image data of a healthy adult male volunteer were selected to es...
