How do compression and flexion-compression injuries destabilize the spine? A novel in vitro protocol for analyzing three-dimensional biomechanical instability
Relevant instability parameters of minor compression and flexion-compression injuries include axial deformability, NZ, ROM, and coupled translations. Cortical BMD of the target vertebra solely affects fracture generation in flexion-compression trauma. Consequently, risk factors for fracture development may vary between trauma mechanisms.
