A unique modular implant system enhances load sharing in anterior cervical interbody fusion: a finite element study

BACKGROUND: The efficacy of dynamic anterior cervical plates is somewhat controversial. Screws in static-plate designs have a smaller diameter and can cut through bone under load. While not ideal, this unintended loosening can help mitigate stress shielding. Stand-alone interbody devices with integr...
