Figure 6

Comparison of kinematic values for five specimen groups in lateral bending and axial rotation. Incomplete burst fracture creation (2) resulted in a significant increase in RoM and decrease of stiffness in neutral zone (sNZ) and elastic zone (sEZ). Posterior bisegmental instrumentation (3) restored prefractured kinematic values in lateral bending and axial rotation. Hybrid augmentation (HA) resulted in no additional increase in stiffness or further reduction of RoM (4). Stand-alone VP (5) did not alter fractured values for lateral bending and axial rotation.
