Effect of graded posterior element and ligament removal on annulus stress and segmental stability in lumbar spine stenosis: a finite element analysis study

The study aimed to investigate the impact of posterior element and ligament removal on the maximum von Mises stress, and maximum shear stress of the eight-layer annulus for treating stenosis at the L3-L4 and L4-L5 levels in the lumbar spine. Previous studies have indicated that laminectomy alone can...
