Three kinds of fusions, the anterior, the posterolateral and the posterior, which practiced in the lumbar spinal segments L2 to L4 were investigated. FE models were built with the medical images, and the numerical simulation techniques were based on porous medium theory. Inclination of the spine in various seating angles was also taken into consideration. In this study, variations on the highest failure criterion on von Mises stresses in intervertebral discs adjacent to the fused segments were inspected and compared. Results revealed that among the three fusions posterior fusion treatment of the lumbar spine is most correlated with the biomechanical rules. Moreover, the techniques used here were found to be very helpful in evaluating the preoperative condition and will no doubt improve future medical doing.zh-TW
