Biomechanical Implications of Lumbar Spinal Ligament TransectionA Finite Element Study

The purpose of this work was to determine the possible effects of isolated spinal ligament transection on the biomechanics of the lumbar spine. A finite element model of a lumbar spine was developed and validated against experimental data. The model was tested in the primary modes of spinal motion i...
