Objective To simulate clinical operation and investigate feasibility of Coflex dynamic device for fixing L5/S1 segment of lower lumbar degenerative diseases. Methods The lower lumbar-sacral digital model was extracted from platform of the second generation of Chinese Digitized Human “Male No.23” data set, and three finite element (FE) models (the model of normal lower lumbar sacrum, L4/5 and L5/S1 segment fixed with Coflex) were developed respectively using a series of CAX software. According to the spinal three-column loading theory and the lower lumbar physiological behaviors, FE model tests were analyzed, validated and compared under the physiological load of upright standing, anteflexion and extension. Results The FE models of normal lower lumbar sacrum (Healthy), Coflex fixed-L4/5 segment (L4/5), Coflex fixed-L5/S1 segment (L5/S1) were developed, respectively. Based on biomechanical indexes (stability and compatibility) of the controlled trial for the FE model, the two Coflex-fixed FE models showed similar biomechanical effects for fixing the lower lumbar. Conclusions The controlled trials of FE models provide biomechanical evidence for the fixation of lower lumbar L5/S1 segment by Coflex dynamic device, which is of significance for application of Coflex in fixing L5/S1 segment in clinic.
