Abstract: The main goal of spinal surgery is to stop the pain caused by joints that have worn out over time or degenerated due to disease. Spinal fusion joins together the vertebrae on either side of a joint in spine. Fixation with pedicle screws is one method which is used by surgeons for fusing the vertebrae in spine. Implants are subjected to many loading cycles during their life. Any damage to the implant leads to significant complications in the treatment and causes considerable pain. For this reason, it is necessary to pay close attention to testing and fatigue prediction of implants.
