Figure 1

The finite element model used in this study. (A). The intact spine. (B). The intact spine implanted with the Dynesys system in place between L3 and L4. (C). The spine after laminectomy and facetectomy between L3 and L4 implanted with the Dynesys system in place. (D). The Dynesys system consists of conical titanium alloy pedicle screws, hollow polycarbonate urethane (PCU) spacers and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) cords [20].
