Abstract

Owing to the extended average life expectancy and continued labor by older people, incidence of spinal degenerative diseases, such as spondylolisthesis and lumbar spinal stenosis, has increased. Surgical treatments of these diseases involve procedures to correct the deformation of the vertebrae using implantable devices such as pedicle screws, rods, nut screws, and lumbar interbody fusion cages. Mechanical evaluations of the pedicle screw design have thus far been limited by the consideration of only the pitch and lead of the screw's thread. In this study, we propose pedicle screws of various shapes and evaluate their mechanical strengths according to ASTM standards. In addition, biomechanical finite element models are established to overcome the limits of the tests and experiments. The stresses of individual screws and vertebrae were analyzed in detail according to the pullout forces and screw designs of the models.
