Analyzing isolated degeneration of lumbar facet joints: implications for degenerative instability and lumbar biomechanics using finite element analysis.

During the simulated lateral bending movements ( Figure 9B ), the facet joint reaction force showed an increasing trend depending on the degeneration of the onset segments in the L4–L5 FSU and a decreasing trend in the L5–S1 FSU.
