Abstract
The finite element method of stress analysis is a useful tool, particularly for irregularly-shaped structures such as the vertebra. It is able to identify locations of high stress and to quantify changes in stress due to surgery. Therefore, a three dimensional finite element model has been developed which simulates the in vivo spinal surgery such as (laminectomies).
