  1. Data are presented as mean ± SD unless noted otherwise. Dynamic segmental angle change = preoperative extension segmental angle – preoperative flexion segmental angle; dynamic intradiscal angle change = preoperative extension intradiscal angle – preoperative flexion intradiscal angle; dynamic slippage change = preoperative flexion slippage – preoperative extension slippage. Abbreviations: ADH anterior disc height, PDH posterior disc height.
