Stress Reduction in Adjacent Level Discs via Dynamic Instrumentation: A Finite Element Analysis

BACKGROUND: Conventional (rigid) fusion instrumentation is believed to accelerate the degeneration of adjacent discs by increasing stresses caused by motion discontinuity. Fusion instrumentation that employs reduced rod stiffness and increased axial motion, or dynamic instrumentation, may partially...
