Abstract
Finite element studies have proliferated in the lumbar spine. Similar modeling efforts to understand the biomechanical behavior of the cervical spine are lacking [3]. The purpose of this study is to report the advancements made in the finite element analysis of the human cervical spine by our group. Details specific to this presentation include the validation studies and the stress analysis of the intervertebral components under complex loading.
