Abstract

Abstract: Based on the finite element method， the effects of four different methods of lumbar interbody fusion (ALIF， PLIF， TLIF and DLIF) on the lumbar fusion segments and adjacent segments under the condition of whole-body vibration were compared. Some important indexes related to complications such as stress distribution， stress peak and stress amplitude were introduced and compared. The results showed that ALIF can provide a more stable environment for the adjacent segments in the whole-body vibration state among the four different methods， and this method has better anti-vibration performance. Compared with the other methods， DLIF can reduce the risk of cage subsidence and failure. Besides， DLIF can provide a more stable and suitable environment for the growth of vertebral cells in the state of whole-body vibration， which is more conducive to the success of vertebral fusion.

Key words: anterior lumbar interbody fusion(ALIF); posterior lumbar interbody fusion(PLIF); trans-foraminal lumbar interbody fusion(TLIF); direct lateral lumbar interbody fusion(DLIF); whole-body vibration
