A M-PEEK rod system to stabilize spinal motion after graded facetectomy: a finite element study
Facetectomy involving the removal of 50% or more of the facet joint significantly increases range of motion and maximum intradiscal pressure, potentially accelerating disc degeneration, as shown in our finite element study. Stabilizing the segment with an M-PEEK rod may limit excessive motion, providing stability and maintaining intradiscal pressure closer to that of an intact model.
