A finite element study of the relationship between upper body weight and the loads experienced by the human lumbosacral spine, and fusion instrumentation, in a standing upright posture

Background: A quantitative relationship between increasing upper body weight and both 1) non-instrumented lumbosacral joint loading and 2) fusion instrumentation reactions is established using a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model (FEM) of the human thoracolumbosacral spine. Methods: A 3D FE...
