474 Computational Modelling of Biomechanics and Biotribology
complex and time-consuming development of biologically active implants
for spine regeneration. Furthermore, with regard to the development of sec-
ondary spine conditions, mechanical-biophysical modelling offers a unique
way to approach and test the biology-based rationales related to the long-
term failure of a speci c treatment strategy. Coupled to the progress in
patient-speci c modelling, evolutionary models can be expected to become
a unique and powerful tool to push forward personalized low back pain
treatment prognosis, leading to safer diagnostics, better treatment outcomes,
and reduced costs for the society.
