摘要:

文题释义:

后纵韧带骨化症是指脊柱后纵韧带发生骨化压迫脊髓导致患者出现不全瘫或者截瘫,其中以颈椎发病率最高,根据形态分为节段型、连续型、孤立型、混合型4种临床分型。

有限元建模基于患者实体CT数据,利用计算机建模软件构建高度还原的虚拟模型,并可以连接3D打印机对虚拟模型进行3D打印,还可以构建有限元模型,后续利用构建成功的模型进行进一步的有限元分析。

背景:颈椎后纵韧带骨化症的病因尚不清楚,其与正常颈椎形态和力学特性存在差异,使得颈椎后纵韧带骨化的生物力学研究成为一个难点。

目的:建立颈椎后纵韧带骨化合并椎间融合三维有限元模型并进行有效性验证。

方法选择运城护理职业学院附属医院骨科一名志愿者,将颈椎CT扫描719DICOM格式图像导入Mimics建模软件,构建stl格式初步三维模型,利用Geomagic Studio 2013软件精修细化功能对三维模型进行光滑、消除噪点,并生成NURBS曲面模型,然后导入有限元分析软件Ansys workbench 15.0,添加韧带、椎间盘,进行网格划分、赋予材料属性,并对人体颈椎6种活动进行模拟,与以往的文献进行对比。

结果与结论:①建立的颈椎后纵韧带骨化合并椎间融合三维有限元模型包含7个颈椎椎体、1个胸椎椎体、5个椎间盘和韧带等结构,共计320 512个节点、180 905个单元,模型外观逼真,细节还原度高,具有良好的几何相似性;②该模型在屈伸、左右侧弯、轴向旋转下的活动度与以往的文献对比差异不大;③建立的颈椎后纵韧带骨化合并椎间融合三维有限元模型具有良好的几何相似性和力学相似性。

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: The etiology of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine is still unclear, which is different from the normal shape and mechanical properties of the cervical spine, making the biomechanical study of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine a difficulty.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine with interbody fusion and verify its effectiveness.

METHODS: A volunteer was selected from Department of Orthopedics, Affiliated Hospital of Yuncheng Nursing Vocational College. Totally 719 DICOM format images of cervical spine during CT scans were imported into Mimics modeling software. A preliminary 3D model was constructed in stl format. Geomagic Studio 2013 software was used to refine the 3D model to smooth out noise and generate NURBS. The surface model is then imported into the finite element analysis software Ansys workbench 15.0, adding ligaments and intervertebral discs, meshing, assigning material properties, and simulating six kinds of human cervical spine activities. They were compared with references.

RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The 3D finite element model of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine with interbody fusion consisted of 7 cervical vertebral bodies, 1 thoracic vertebral body, 5 intervertebral discs, and ligaments, totally 320 512 nodes and 180 905 units. The appearance was realistic; the detail reduction was high; and the cervical posterior longitudinal ligament bone had good geometric similarity. (2) In flexion and extension, left and right lateral bending, axial rotation activity compared with the reference, there is no difference. (3) The 3D finite element model of ossification of the posterior longitudinal ligament of the cervical spine with interbody fusion has good mechanical and geometric similarity.
