Figure 1 The C5–C6 FE model with cage implantation and its boundary and loading condition. A uniform compression force of 52.5 N mimicking the gravity of head, and a moment of 1.8 Nm mimicking the flexion motion pattern was exerted on the vertebrae of C5, while the nodes at the bottom of C6 were completely constrained.
