Fig. 5.
Biomechanical range of motion in flexion–extension (A), lateral bending (B), and axial rotation (C). No significant differences were found between operative constructs (BPS and BPS+spacer) in the CES and SS Groups (p≥0.05). BPS, bilateral pedicle screws; CES, continuously expandable spacer; SS, traditional static spacer. a)vs. intact (p≤0.05). b)vs. injured (p≤0.05).
