Collagen fiber orientation in cervical FCLs. (a) Fiber orientation distribution and representative fiber alignment maps (from samples (b) C1, (c) C2, and (d) C7) demonstrate highly heterogeneous structures and large variability between different specimens. The single line arrows indicate directions across the joint. The orientation distribution functions in (a) were computed relative to the horizontal direction marked by 0.
