Abstract

STUDY DESIGN: Destructive compression tests and finite element analyses were conducted to investigate the biomechanical strength at the graft-endplate interface in anterior cervical fusion. OBJECTIVES: To investigate the effect of endplate thickness, endplate holes, and bone mineral density of the v...
