The failure response of the human cervical facet capsular ligament during facet joint retraction.
Studies implicate the cervical facet joint and its capsule as a primary anatomical site of injury during whiplash exposures to the neck. Although the facet joint is known to undergo stretch as the superior vertebra is retracted relative to the inferior vertebra during the whiplash kinematic, the response of the facet capsular ligament and its microstructure during failure in joint retraction is...
متن کاملLumbar facet joint tropism does not accelerate degeneration of the facet joints.
PURPOSE To study the relationship of lumbar facet joint tropism to degeneration of the cartilage and subcortical bone in the facet joints and the effect of tropism in intervertebral disk degeneration. METHODS The orientation of 104 cadaveric lumbar facet joints with respect to sagittal plane was measured on CT scans, and the joints were classified as having no tropism, mild tropism, or severe...
متن کاملAn intact facet capsular ligament modulates behavioral sensitivity and spinal glial activation produced by cervical facet joint tension.
STUDY DESIGN In vivo experiments using a rat model of painful facet joint distraction. OBJECTIVE To determine whether tension of the facet capsular ligament is requisite for producing pain for joint loading and to define effects on spinal glial activation. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Cervical facet joint loading may initiate pain for certain conditions. While facet capsule tension has been p...
متن کاملIsolation and Characterization of Human Mesenchymal Stem Cells From Facet Joints and Interspinous Ligaments.
STUDY DESIGN A descriptive in vitro study on isolation and differentiation of human mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) derived from the facet joints and interspinous ligaments. OBJECTIVE To isolate cells from the facet joints and interspinous ligaments and investigate their surface marker profile and differentiation potentials. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA Lumbar spinal canal stenosis and ossifica...
متن کاملThe comparison of measurement between ultrasound and computed tomography for abnormal degenerative facet joints
Besides the study on examining facet joints of lumbar spine by ultrasound in normal population, there has not been any related report about examining normal facet joints of lumbar spine by ultrasound so far. This study was aimed to explore the feasibility of ultrasound assessment of lumber spine facet joints by comparing ultrasound measure values of normal and degenerative lumber spine facet jo...
