Abstract
Studies of spine mechanics have shown that the lumbar region experiences higher tensile and shear deformations compared to other regions which increase the probability of disc injury. Hence, studies on lumbar spine mechanics are vital to understand failure of vertebrae and related mechanics. This research paper focuses on spine mechanics of L3-L4 lumbar using Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Various CAD tools are used to build the FE Model of a lumbar spine. The L3-l4 spine segment was generated from a CT scan image and converted into surface model using Mimics and then refined by means of Geomagic. HyperMesh is used to obtain the optimum mesh size that enable for FE analysis. The results of spine mechanics are compared with other related studies.
