摘要

Bone surrogates are proposed alternatives to human cadaveric vertebrae for assessing interbody device subsidence. A synthetic vertebra with representations of cortices, endplates and cancellous bone was recently developed as an alternative surrogate to polyurethane foam blocks. The ability of the two surrogates to replicate subsidence has not been fully assessed, and was evaluated by indenting them with ring-shaped indenters and comparing their performance with human cadaveric vertebrae using qualitative characteristics and indentation metrics. The sensitivity of each surrogate to a centrally or peripherally placed indenter was of particular interest. Many indentation characteristics of the foam blocks were similar to those of human cadaveric vertebrae, except their insensitivity to centrally and peripherally placed indenters, owing to their homogeneous mechanical properties. This is distinctly different from the cadaveric vertebrae, where a peripherally placed indenter indented significantly less than a centrally placed indenter, because of endplates. By contrast, the synthetic vertebra was sensitive to peripherally placed indenters owing to its bi-material composition, including a thickened peripheral endplate. However, an overly strong synthetic endplate resulted in unrepresentative indentation shape and depth. Both surrogates produced similar results to human cadaveric vertebrae in certain respects, but neither is accurate enough in terms of material property distribution to model subsidence completely in human cadaveric vertebrae.
