Comparing adjacent segment biomechanics between anterior and posterior cervical fusion using patient-specific finite element modeling
Our findings indicate the differential effect of ACDF and PCLF on biomechanics at the cervical spine's adjacent segments, with the patient-specific model with ACDF showing greater changes and potential for degeneration. This study highlights the utility of patient-specific FEMs in enhancing surgical decision-making through personalized medicine.
