Nonlinear mechanical analysis of posterior spinal instrumentation for osteoporotic vertebra: Effects of mechanical properties of the rod on the failure risks around the screw
In spinal fusion with instrumentation for the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fracture, it is common for pedicle screws, which are inserted into vertebrae and strongly immobilized by a rigid rod, to loosen and dissociate. One of their expected causes is failure and reduction of fixity around a s...
