  23. Summary and Conclusions • An optimum geometry for a new interbody fusion implant is obtained using topology and shape optimization. • The topology optimization minimizes strain energy subject to a mass fraction constraint. • The shape optimization minimizes mass subject to a maximum von Mises stress constraint (maximizes volume available for bone graft material). • A total volume fraction of 66% is available for the bone graft.
