The facet joint is a crucial anatomic region of the spine owing to its biomechanical role in
facilitating articulation of the vertebrae of the spinal column. It is a diarthrodial joint with …

Study Design. A biomechanical comparison between the intact C2–C7 segments and the C5–
C6 segments implanted with two different constrained types (fixed and mobile core) of …

Simple Summary With this review, the authors aim at providing the reader a concise
biological and biomechanical description of the main contributions in the field of traumatic …

This study presents a specimen-specific C2–C7 cervical spine finite element model that was
developed using multiblock meshing techniques. The model was validated using in-house …

Predicting neck response and injury resulting from motor vehicle accidents is essential to
