An anatomical examination of the lumbar pars interarticulares with significance for spinal decompression

From anatomic position, the lumbar spine allows approximately 50 degrees of flexion and approximately 15 degrees of extension.

To flex or extend?

Maximum angular velocity in extension, rotation, and tilt of the lumbar spine just after impact: Angular velocity of the lumbar spine in extension, rotation, and tilt was continuously monitored throughout the swing, as well as just after impact (Figure 5).

The extent to which the lumbar spine is flexed when lifting and lowering is important as it determines the bending moments and anterior shear forces acting on the passive tissues of the spine (Adams and Dolan 1991, Dolan et al 1994a, Potvin et al 1991).

Bone densities at the femoral neck and lumbar spine were tested after 24 months, along with serum levels of bone-specific alkaline phosphatase, markers of bone turnover (urinary excretion of pyridinoline and deoxypyridinoline), insulin-like growth factor 1 (IFG-1), and endometrial thickness.
