The objective of this research is to address the new advances in the generation of finite element models of the human cervical spine
The contact mechanisms of the lower cervical facet joints reduce rotational displacement, while the upper cervical joints (Atlanto-Axial and AtlantoOccipital) contact mechanism restrict the movements of vertebrae and act as boundaries for rotational displacements [4]
The present study will be carried out to illustrate the effectiveness of the finite element method to analyze the effect of facet joints, endplate and IVDs material properties on spine biomechanics research
Summary
It is important to note that the facet joints that are synovial joints located between articular processes of two adjacent vertebrae will be considered. The contact mechanisms of the lower cervical facet joints reduce rotational displacement (except for flexion), while the upper cervical joints (Atlanto-Axial and AtlantoOccipital) contact mechanism restrict the movements of vertebrae and act as boundaries for rotational displacements [4].
