| Περίληψη: | Finite element analysis is widely used to study spinal biomechanics and to compare surgical strategies under controlled loading conditions. By allowing variation in alignment, fixation, and implant design, these models provide insight into stress redistribution and motion changes that are difficult to isolate experimentally. This review examines spine surgery-focused finite element studies published between 2018 and 2024, with emphasis on interbody fusion techniques, adjacent segment mechanics, and implant-related stress behavior. Across lumbar fusion models, constructs incorporating anterior column support demonstrate lower posterior instrumentation stress than posterior-only approaches, with lateral lumbar interbody techniques showing reduced rod and screw stresses across multiple loading conditions compared with posterior lumbar interbody or posterolateral fusion constructs. In the cervical spine, comparisons of plated and zero-profile anterior cervical discectomy and fusion devices show smaller increases in adjacent-level motion and intradiscal pressure with zero-profile constructs, alongside higher localized stress at fixation interfaces. More recent studies apply finite element methods to implant optimization, alignment planning, and patient-specific modeling. Together, these findings suggest that finite element analysis is increasingly used to support surgical planning and implant design, with continued advances in validation and patient-specific simulation likely to strengthen its clinical relevance.
