Cadaveric lumbar intervertebral joints were loaded to simulate the erect standing posture (lordosis),
and the erect sitting posture (slightly flexed). The results show that, after the …

Sixty-one lumbar intervertebral joints were compressed while wedged to simulate hyperflexion.
Twenty-six of the joints failed by posterior disc prolapse. The results show that slightly …

Study Design. Biomechanical comparison of the pull-out strengths of lateral mass and pedicle
screws in the human cervical spine. Measurements of pedicle dimensions and orientation …

Cadaveric lumbar spine specimens of "motion segments", each including two vertebrae and
the linking disc and facet joints, were compressed. The pressure across the facet joints was …

Cadaveric lumbar intervertebral joints were subjected to physiologic loads to simulate flexion.
The resistance to bending was measured first with the joint intact and again after cutting in …

Experiments were carried out on cadaveric lumbar spines to determine the mechanical
function of the apophyseal joints. It was found that they resist most of the intervertebral shear …

Objective. The purpose of this investigation was to develop, characterize, and validate an
animal model for lumbar intertransverse process fusion. Study Design. This study used a rabbit …

Cadaveric lumbar intervertebral joints were loaded simultaneously in torsion and compression,
and load-deformation curves were obtained. These were repeated after each of the …
