Abstract
Ti6Al4V pedicle-screw-rod fixation system highly restricted the ROM of the spine, which is improved by using UHMWPE and PEEK, having lower stiffness. The foramen height did not vary significantly for any implant materials. In terms of ROM and maximum stress, PEEK rod may be considered for a better implant design to get better ROM and thus mobility.
