Development and experimental conditions of the cervical artificial disc replacement (CADR) FE model. (A) The Prestige LP finite element (FE) model was composed of superior surface and inferior surface structures. The cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis (CSDP) FE model was divided into three parts: cervical disc prosthesis (CDP) structure, cervical vertebra fixation (CVF) structure, and link structure. The Prestige LP and CSDP FE models were implanted at C5-C6. (B) The CSDP was moved up by 1 mm to simulate an imprecise surgical insertion situation as a CSDP error FE model.
