Biomechanical effects of screws of different materials on vertebra-pediculoplasty: a finite element study
Background: The effects of cannulated screws made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) on the biomechanical properties of the vertebral body during vertebra-pediculoplasty remain unclear. This study aimed to investigate whether PEEK screws have the potential to replace titanium alloy screws.Methods: The s...
