Human Spine

[WillD]

Does anyone have a model of a human spine? I'd like to have for a implant tool that I'm working on.


Thanks, Will

Hello Will,


I guess that you need a spine model to run FEA.Please refer to this link

As far as I know it is very difficult to obtained a spine model that is validated to get accurate results. I know that this group works on Lumbar spine and they have published a lot with their model. Similarly there are groups working on other spine regions where you can get spine models. Also from my experience it is very difficult to model accurate biological models.So I guess obtaining from these research groups would be the best path. Hope it helps
