Original Abstract

A stress-strain analysis and Experimental study of a spinal element with applied cervical fixator is presented. The problem is solved by the finite element method using commercial software package Ansys 5.7 and 6.1. The present state of elaboration as well as some interesting remarks for the future research in this area are highlighted in conclusion. Established experimental study is performed on 8 vertebra segments with applied fixators Cervi-Lok and Morscher which are suitable for stabilization of cervical spine. Experiments are performend on testing machine called Zwick Z 020 TDN. Combination of loading - tension+torsion and compresion+torsion is applied. In conclusion the assessment of fixator is performed from the view of applied loading
