Abstract

A contact model has been offered to compare the effect of roughness on energy absorption in different lumbar spine implants. In this research, we develop a statistical contact model to investigate interaction of Lumber implant surfaces, ball and socket, from L1 to L5 including normal contact load in which the effect of roughness is included. It is found that the energy absorption between lumbar implant increases from lumbar 1 to lumbar 4, L1 to L4, and decreases from lumbar 4 to lumbar 5,L4 to L5, as it has effect on design performance and durability of implants.
