Abstract

The cord-fragment interaction during a burst fracture was analyzed using both computational and experimental modeling methods. Initial stress-relaxation tests were used to obtain material property data on the dura mater and spinal cord. It was observed that both the spinal cord and dura mater exhibit non-linear viscoelastic behavior. It was suggested that as the fragment progresses into the spinal canal, the PLL becomes extended and the dura-enclosed cord is compressed.
