The paper presents a finite element analysis of three insertion directions of pedicle screw in lumbar vertebra, the purpose being to investigate the impact of the implantation trajectory over the stability of vertebral pedicle-screw interface, by comparing the maximal displacements obtained for the same pull-out force. Also, this information is helpful in the design process of a drilling template which can be used during surgery for increasing the pedicle screw positioning accuracy and its pull-out strength in the vertebra.
