With respect to angular motion, Maigne et al (10) reported that patients showing an intervertebral end-plate angle of less than -5 degrees on the flexion film had significant clinical symptoms relevant to lumbar spinal instability; therefore, we also adopted a cutoff value of -5 degrees for the intervertebral endplate angle on the flexion film. Key statement: An artificial joint or disc replacement (ADR) includes a pair of opposing endplate components, each attached to one of the upper and lower vertebrae, a cushioning component disposed between the endplate components, and a mechanism for coupling the cushioning component to one or both of the endplates. Also, the status of the motor endplate for EMG recording was evaluated by train-of-four stimulation of the left posterior tibial nerve, with recording from the left abductor hallucis muscle (figure, B). |
