Figure 8.
Stress analysis of cervical subtotal discectomy prosthesis–cervical vertebra fixation (CSDP-CVF) structure. (A) Maximum stress for the CSDP-CVF structure finite element (FE) model, located nearby the link structure, instead of the bottom. (B) Maximum Von Mises stress analysis of CSDP-CVF structure FE models. Maximum stress in the CVF structure was less than that of the Prestige LP inferior surface in all loads.
