pages 279 - +8p., full text

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 2 vertebra segments with applied ﬁxators Cervi-Lok 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.
