摘要

There is a growing interest in the development of patient-specific finite element models of the human lumbar spine for both the assessment of injury risk and the development of treatment strategies. A current challenge in implementing these models is that the outer annulus fibrosus of the disc is composed of concentric sheets of aligned collagen fibers, the helical angles of which vary spatially. In finite element models, fiber angle is typically assumed to be constant, based on average experimental measurements from a small number of locations. The present study hypothesized that the full spatial distribution of fiber angles in the annulus fibrosus may be predicted for any disc geometry by assuming growth from a thin cylinder with constant fiber angle. This hypothesis was tested by developing an analytical model of disc growth and calibrating it with fiber angle measurements of adult bovine caudal discs. The calibrated model was then run on a representative human lumbar disc geometry. The model was able to accurately predict fiber angle distributions in both the experimental bovine caudal disc measurements and literature-reported human lumbar disc measurements. Despite its theoretical basis in development, the model requires only mature state geometry, making it practical for implementation in patient-specific finite element analyses, in which disc geometry is obtained from clinical imaging.
