Sample bone-screw force patterns (case no. 8) with (a) the reference screw pattern (bilateral screws at every level fused) and screw patterns with (b) convex alternate screw dropouts, (c) concave alternate screw dropouts, (d) convex periapical screw dropouts, and (e) concave periapical screw dropouts (red arrows: convex side bone-screw force vectors; cyan arrows: concave side bone-screw force vectors)
