Sagittal-oriented articular processes and intervertebral disc degeneration phenotypes can concurrently lead to an increased presence of annulus tears in the cranial adjacent motion segment
Sagittal orientation of articular processes and IDD phenotypes may increase the risk of annulus tears in the cranial adjacent segment by compromising the biomechanical environment. This offers a novel perspective for understanding biomechanical interactions in adjacent segments during IDD progression.
