This paper deals with implementation stress-strain analysis of the lumbar segment of the human vertebral. Individual vertebral elements are modelled base on the 4. and the 5. CT slices of the lumbar spondyle. Mechanical interaction in joint section of spine between spondyles is modelled by using contact elements. The articular contact was supported with respect to complication of geometry by creating of cartilage with suitable thickness. This analysis is made by using FEM software ANSYS for a few variations. The results of this analysis contribute to view about effort of the vertebral segment.
