With respect to angular motion, Maigne et al (10) reported that patients showing an intervertebral end-plate angle of less than -5 degrees on the flexion film had significant clinical symptoms relevant to lumbar spinal instability; therefore, we also adopted a cutoff value of -5 degrees for the intervertebral endplate angle on the flexion film. Quantum Composites has developed Pemtex vinyl ester bipolar and end-plate compounds for injection and compression molding (Table 2). |
