Core Tip	By embedding the hexagonal porous structure with two variable parameters including spacing diameter and thickness, as a substitute for the bone cement mass in the vertebral kyphoplasty, lower levels of maximum Von Mises stress could be achieved, thereby indicating the reduction of stress concentration in the interface area between the bone cement mass and the cancellous bone, as well as the reduction of post treatments. Furthermore, setting porous structures with different geometries inside vertebrae could provide the possibility of bone regeneration, the transfer of growth factors and recreation of mechanical properties.
