Bioeng. Biotechnol."],"abstract":"<jats:p>\n                    Finite element analysis (FEA) is a widely used tool in a variety of industries and research endeavors. With its application to spine biomechanics, FEA has contributed to a better understanding of the spine, its components, and its behavior in physiological and pathological conditions, as well as assisting in the design and application of spinal instrumentation, particularly spinal interbody cages (ICs). IC is a highly effective instrumentation for achieving spinal fusion that has been used to treat a variety of spinal disorders, including degenerative disc disease, trauma, tumor reconstruction, and scoliosis. The application of FEA lets new designs be thoroughly \u201ctested\u201d before a cage is even manufactured, allowing bio-mechanical responses and spinal fusion processes that cannot easily be experimented upon\n                    <jats:italic>in vivo<\/jats:italic>\n                    to be examined and \u201cdiagnosis\u201d to be performed, which is an important addition to clinical and\n                    <jats:italic>in vitro<\/jats:italic>\n                    experimental studies. This paper reviews the recent progress of FEA in spinal ICs over the last six years. It demonstrates how modeling can aid in evaluating the biomechanical response of cage materials, cage design, and fixation devices, understanding bone formation mechanisms, comparing the benefits of various fusion techniques, and investigating the impact of pathological structures. It also summarizes the various limitations brought about by modeling simplification and looks forward to the significant advancement of spine FEA research as computing efficiency and software capabilities increase. In conclusion, in such a fast-paced field, the FEA is critical for spinal IC studies. It helps in quantitatively and visually demonstrating the cage characteristics after implanting, lowering surgeons\u2019 learning costs for new cage products, and probably assisting them in determining the best IC for patients.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fbioe.2023.1041973","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]],"date-time":"2023-03-23T02:09:45Z","timestamp":1679537385000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":24,"title":["Recent advancement in finite element analysis of spinal interbody cages: A review"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Ruofan","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zenghui","family":"Wu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"408","DOI":"10.1080\/10255842.2020.1734579","article-title":"Numerical simulation of lateral and transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion, two minimally invasive surgical approaches","volume":"23","author":"Areias","year":"2020","journal-title":"Comput.
