Fact sheet

Home > Model : Fact sheet


Name MYWEBSPINE
Description Parametric Finite Element Model of the Instrumented Lumbar Spine
Research & Development Teams ENSAM/LBM (France) and IBV (Spain)
Development Period 2002-2006
Status Validated
Validation Level Level 3 (>30 failure cases; >100 success cases)
Type of validation

In vivo, retrospective (>130 cases) and prospective (in process).

Validations performed using sagittal X-rays of the patient's lumbar region.

Scope of application

Clinical simulations of implant surgeries for fractures, spondylolistesis and spondyloarthosis, under most usual surgical manieuvres.

Comments myWebSpine simulates the estimated implant surgery results, by using a validated biomechanical model, in which anatomical and pathology spine conditions, as well as implant resistance and configuration can be defined. It is based on a parametric finite element model run in a simulation server located at the LBM in Paris (France).
