6 Biom ech anics of the Spine and Spinal In strum entat ion
e. Some evidence suggests that thoracolumbar burst fractures m ay not
require fusion.
(1) Surgical m anagem ent of thoracolum bar fractures involves the
restoration of vertebral height and avoidance of kyphosis.
(2) Often supplem ented with transpedicular screw xation for rigid
stabilization.
(3) In addition, fusion enables early rehabilitation and am bulation.
(4) Recent, albeit weak, evidence suggests that posterior instrum entation
alone provides comparable outcomes to instrumentation and fusion for t h oracolu m b a r fract u r e s .
5. Spinal deformities in the thoracolumbar spine:
a. Scoliosis.
(1) Lateral exion with rotation of the spinous process toward the
concavit y of the spine.
(2) Hypokyphosis and posterior wedging of the vertebral body are
frequ en tly seen (Fig. 6.13).
(3) Correction.
(a) Thoracic curve: distraction on the concave side corrects coronal
alignment and produces thoracic kyphosis, which is generally desired.
(b) Lum bar cur ve: com pression on th e convex side corrects coronal
alignment and restores lumbar lordosis.

(c) Bending and translation:
i. Cantilever bending and segm ental xation correct th e
deformity in the coronal and sagittal plane.
ii. Rotation–derotat ion also corrects the defor m it y in coronal
and sagittal planes by shifting the regions of the spine en bloc.
b. Kyphosis.
(1) The anterior colum n fails with compression.
(2) The posterior colum n fails with tension.
(3) Deform ity increases the mom ent arm , further increasing deform ity.
(4) Eccentric loading a ects cartilaginous grow th.
(a) Com pression decreases grow th anteriorly.
(b) Tension increases grow th posteriorly.
(5) Various instrum entations are used to correct kyphotic deform ities.
(a) Posterior com pression rods can correct mild and exible curves
(Fig. 6.14).
(b) Greater curves should be approached by com bin ed an terior an d
posterior fusion and instrumentation.
i. Posterior instrum entat ion is applied w ith cantilever bending
and compression forces.

a. Degenerative disk and facet diseases.
(1) Intervertebral disk.
(a) Annulus brosus.
i. Collagen bers arranged in an obliqu e direct ion .
ii. Provides axial loading stabilit y and 40 to 50% torsion al
stability.
(b) Nucleus pulposus.
i. Th e gel-like core acts as a ball bearin g, ch an ging the center of
rotation.
(2) Intradiskal pressure.
(a) The load on the disk is about tw ice the body weight w hen sitting.
(b) Thirty percent lower disk pressure w h en standing.
(c) Fifty percent lower disk pressure when lying on the side.
(d) Eight y to 90% lower disk pressure when lying supine compared
with sitting.
(3) Disk degeneration.
(a) Shifts the instant center of rotation posteriorly.
(b) Increases st ress to th e facet joint.
(c) Disk degeneration a ects the motion of the functional spinal
unit.
i. Early disk degeneration w it h radial tears of the annulus
brosus decreases sti ness in exion, lateral bending, and rotation.
ii. Advanced disk degeneration w ith loss of disk heigh t and
osteophytes increases the sti ness.
(d) P rrm ann classi cation of disk degeneration (Fig. 6.16):
i. Based on T2-weigh ted MRI ndings.
ii. Provides a standard nom enclature to classify disk
degeneration.
(4) Facet joints.
(a) Provide torsional stability.
(b) Suppor t < 20% of load w ith weight bearing.
b. Spondylolisthesis.
(1) Abrupt change in sti ness across the lum bosacral junction.
(2) The pars interarticularis is strong but susceptible to fatigue fractures,
especially with extension injuries.
(3) Shear stress at the pars interarticularis:
(a) Physiological exion contracture of the hip and secondary
hyperlordosis create a pincerlike e ect from the superior articular process of S1 and the inferior articular process of L4.

(b) The inner diam eter is < 80% of the outer diam eter.
(c) The pedicle screw diam eter should be smaller than the inner
diameter.

osteoclast activity.
b. Derived from the bone marrow stromal cells and periosteal membrane
cells.
c. Secrete type I collagen.
d. Express parathyroid hormone receptors and alkaline phosphatase.

3. Osteoclasts.
a. Multinucleated bone resorbing cells.
b. Hematopoietic cells that derive from the monocyte/macrophage family.
c. These cells have a ru ed border that secretes proteases and ions, which
help dissolve the bony matrix (Howship’s lacunae) (Fig. 7.2).
d. Tightly regulated by the receptor activator of nuclear factor kB ligand
(RANKL).
B. Ex t r a ce ll u la r m a t r i x ( ECM ).
1. The ECM consists of 60 to 70% mineral matrix and 20 to 25% organic matrix.
a. Mineral matrix.
(1) Provides the compressive strength of bone.
(2) Calcium (hydroxyapatite) and phosphate (tricalcium phosphate)
make up the majority of the mineral matrix.
b. Organic m atrix.
(1) Com posed prim arily of type I collagen (90%).
(a) Its triple helical conform ation contributes tensile strength to the
ECM.
II. Bon e fo r m at ion .
A. Os s i c a t io n (Fig. 7.3).
1. Intramembranous (e.g., pelvic bones): formation of bone directly from mesenchymal tissue.
2. Endochondral (e.g., vertebrae): mesenchymal tissue is rst replaced by a cartilage model, which then undergoes ossi cation.
B. Ke y g r ow t h fa ct or s a n d c y t o k in e s .
1. Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs).
2. Transforming growth factor-b (TGF-b).
3. Basic broblast growth factor (bFGF).
4. Insulin growth factor (IGF).
5. Interleukins (ILs).
