Anatomical parameters alter the biomechanical responses of adjacent segments following lumbar fusion surgery: Personalized poroelastic finite element modelling investigations

Introduction: While the short-term post-operative outcome of lumbar fusion is satisfying for most patients, adjacent segment disease (ASD) can be prevalent in long-term clinical observations. It might be valuable to investigate if inherent geometrical differences among patients can significantly alt...
