The influence of static axial torque in combined loading on intervertebral joint failure mechanics using a porcine model

Background. The spine is routinely subjected to repetitive combined loading, including axial torque. Repetitive flexion–extension motions with low magnitude compressive forces have been shown to be an effective mechanism for causing disc herniations. The addition of axial torque to the efficacy of f...
