What is The Influence of Artificial Cervical Disc Prosthesis Height on the Cervical Biomechanics: A Finite Element Study about?

## Objective: Artificial cervical disc replacement is expected to maintain normal cervical biomechanics. at present, the effect of the prestige lp prosthesis height on cervical biomechanics has not been thoroughly studied. this finite element study of the cervical biomechanics aims to predict how the parameters, like range of motion (rom), adjacent intradiscal pressure, facet joint force, and bone-implant interface stress, are affected by different heights of prestige lp prostheses. ## Methods: The finite element model of intact cervical spine (c3-c7) was obtained from our previous study, and the model was altered to implant prestige lp prostheses at the c5-c6 level. the effects of the height of 5, 6, and 7 mm prosthesis replacement on rom, adjacent intradiscal pressure, facet joint force, as well as the distribution of bone-implant interface stress were examined. ## Results: Rom, adjacent intradiscal pressure, and facet joint force increased with the prosthesis height, whereas rom and facet joint force decreased at c5-c6. the maximal stress on the inferior surface of the prostheses was greater than that on the superior surface, and the stresses increased with the prosthesis height
