Optimizing the Architecture of a Dynamic Spinal Implant for Customized Mechanical Behavior

We describe the optimization of the design variables to ensure the correct functioning of the mechanism when adapted to the patient. The optimization purpose is to determine the architecture of the implant, the choice of materials and the geometric parameters of implantation. An optimized implant model corresponding to specific degrees of degeneration in the intervertebral joint can then be envisaged.
