RISStudy on Effect of Graded Facetectomy on Change in Lumbar Motion Segment Torsional Flexibility Using Three-Dimensional Continuum Contact Representation for Facet Joints
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Facet joints provide rigidity to the lumbar motion segment and thus protect the disk, particularly against torsional injury. A surgical procedure that fully or partially removes the facet joints ...
Effect of Annular Incision Type on the Change in Biomechanical Properties in a Herniated Lumbar Intervertebral Disc
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The technique used to incise the disc during discectomy may play a role in the subsequent healing and change in biomechanical stiffness of the disc. Several techniques of lumbar disc annulotomy ...
