Table 2 Mean axial strain in the iliolumbar ligament (ILL) fibres in different models during peak flexion load of 10 Nm

From: Mild (not severe) disc degeneration is implicated in the progression of bilateral L5 spondylolysis to spondylolisthesis

 

Mean axial strain ILL fibres (± standard deviation)

Intact

5.91 (±1.87) %

Normal L5 Lytic

8.01 (±1.89)%

Mildly Degenerate L5 Lytic

11.25 (±1.91)%

Mildly Degenerate L5 Collapsed Lytic

1.91 (±0.91)%

Severely Degenerate L5 Collapsed Lytic

1.90 (±0.90)%

  1. The greatest increase in mean axial strain from the baseline Intact state was observed in the mildly degenerate L5 lytic model
