This study aims to increase awareness in the field of spinal fixation modeling by investigating the mechanical response of the Interconnection Mechanism (IM). The results highlight the key role of the IM in the reliable modeling of spinal fixation.
Posterior spinal fixation systems are the gold standard to treat different column disorders using rods and screws. The proper connection between them is guaranteed by the Interconnection Mechanism (IM), consisting of different metallic subcomponents held together through the application of tightening torque. The response of the fixation system is defined by its overall stiffness, which in turn is governed by the local residual stress field arising during tightening. Although literature computational models for studying spinal fixation are becoming increasingly anatomically complex, most studies disregard completely the realistic modeling of the IM, namely choosing elastic-plastic material models and proper contact interactions. In this frame, the present study aims at increasing awareness in the field of spinal fixation modeling by investigating the mechanical response of the IM in terms of overall stiffness and local residual stresses. Once validated through dedicated experiments, the results of the proposed model have been compared with the current literature, highlighting the key role of the IM in the reliable modeling of spinal fixation.
