The influence of spinal fusion length on proximal junction biomechanics: a parametric computational study

ConclusionsThe length of the instrumentation has an important effect on the proximal segment biomechanics. Despite the limitations of the current model, musculoskeletal modeling appears to be a promising and versatile method to support planning of spinal instrumentation surgeries in the future.Graphical abstract These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material.
