The biomechanical stability of the lumbar spine after lamino-facetectomy and the restoration of the resected lamina was investigated using fresh-frozen human cadaveric lumbar spine specimens. Six pure moments of flexion-extension, right-left bending and right-left axial rotation were applied and int...
