Biomechanical comparison of the K-ROD and Dynesys dynamic spinal fixator systems - a finite element analysis.
Dynamic spinal fixators, such as the Dynesys (DY) and K-ROD (KD) systems, are designed to restore spinal stability and to provide flexibility. The long-term complications of implant breakage and the biomechanics of the adjacent and the bridged levels using the KD system are still unknown. Therefore, this study aims to investigate and compare the biomechanical effects of the KD system and the DY...
متن کاملBiomechanical Evaluation and Comparison of the Artificial and Natural Skin Properties Using Finite Element Method
Introduction: The self-repair process cannot occur in the skin lesions, therefore, skin replacements are used due to the formation of a scar, which resulted in the complete loss of skin. Artificial skin should have the same specifications as the natural skin. The finite element methods were used in this study to evaluate the biomechanichal properties of natural and artificial skins. Materials ...
متن کاملBiomechanical comparison of a transiliac internal fixator and two iliosacral screws in transforaminal sacral fractures: a finite element analysis.
PURPOSE Vertically unstable sacral transforaminal fractures can be stabilized with a transiliac internal fixator (TIFI) or two iliosacral screws (IS). This study was designed to compare stiffness between TIFI and IS. METHODS Using CT images finite element model of the pelvis was developed. Denis II type fracture was simulated and fixed either with TIFI or two IS. The sacral base was loaded ve...
متن کاملbiomechanical effects of platform switching in two different implant systems: a three-dimensional finite element analysis.
the purpose of this study was to determine the influence of platform switching on stress distribution of two different implant systems using three-dimensional (3d) finite element models.six 3d finite element models were created to replicate two different implant systems with peri-implant bone tissue, in which six different implant-abutment configurations were represented: model xive-a: 3.8-mm-d...
متن کاملBiomechanical evaluation of a new pedicle screw-based posterior dynamic stabilization device (Awesome Rod System) - a finite element analysis
BACKGROUND Pedicle-screw-based posterior dynamic stabilization devices are designed to alleviate the rate of accelerated degeneration of the vertebral level adjacent to the level of spinal fusion. A new pedicle-screw-based posterior dynamic stabilization device- the Awesome Dynamic Rod System was designed with curve cuts on the rods to provide flexibility. The current study was conducted to eva...
