Introduction: The aim of this study is to evaluate the biomechanical properties of the interbody device which is used in thoracic trauma, infection and tumor surgery in valf model. The comparison in between anterior interbody application, anterior, posterior and anterior posterior instrumentation combinations is also stated. The statical applications of interbody device in conditions with anterior interbody applications, anterior, posterior and anterior+posterior instrumentation combinations are done through the gain of stiffness and displacement. In this biomechanical study, instrument stiffness and displacement values are measured and evaluated under axial loading.
