From: Biomechanical comparison of unilateral and bilateral pedicle screws fixation for transforaminal lumbar interbody fusion after decompressive surgery -- a finite element analysis

Figure 6

For the unilateral fixation, the stresses distribution in annulus at surgical level of TLIFo model under (A) right axial rotation (RAR) or (B) right lateral bending (RLB), and the cage-bone interface under (C) RAR or (D) RLB. The stresses distribution in annulus at surgical level of TLIFo model supplemented with a translaminar facet screw contralaterally under (E) RAR or (F) RLB, and the cage-bone interface under (G) RAR or (H) RLB.
