Abstract
The article presents modeling of human lumbar vertebra L1 and it‘s stress analysis using finite elements method. The problem of tissue degradation is raised. Using the computer aided modeling with SolidWorks software the numerical model of lumbar vertebra and intervertebral disks were created. The article contains statistics of spreading of osteoporosis, description of modeling meth-ods and the results of bending test for various types of tissue degradation.
