Lumbar Segmental Mobility According to the Grade of the Disc, the Facet Joint, the Muscle, and the Ligament Pathology by Using Kinetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging
Spine, 11/02/09

Kong MH et al. – The results support that facet joint degeneration is followed by disc degeneration according to age. Increased translational movements of the lumbar segments occurred in severe disc degeneration accompanied by facet joint degeneration or the presence of LFH even if the movements were stabilized in the advanced status. Therefore, the current status of the intervertebral discs, facet joints, and ligamentum flavum should be taken into consideration when evaluating stability within the lumbar spine.
