Cadaveric spines were harvested, stripped of musculature, mounted on a four-point bending jig, and tested using non-destructive four-point bending loads in extension (0\u2013100 N), flexion (0\u201360 N) and lateral bending (0\u201340 N). Angular displacement was recorded from reflective optical trackers rigidly secured to C5, C6 and C7. Data for primary and coupled motions were collected from intact spines and following surgical stabilization (after ventral annulotomy and nucleotomy) with the new implant system.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003As compared with the intact spine, instrumentation significantly reduced motion at the operated level (C5-C6) with a concomitant non-significant increase at the adjacent level (C6-C7).<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003The combination of a locking pedicle screw-rod system and intervertebral spacer provides an alternative solution for surgical distraction\u2013stabilization in the canine caudal cervical spine and supports the feasibility of using this new implant system in the management of disc-associated cervical spondylomyelopathy in dogs. The increase in motion at C6-C7 may suggest the potential for adjacent level effects and clinical trials should be designed to address this.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0041-1725016","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,16]],"date-time":"2021-04-16T07:28:45Z","timestamp":1618558125000},"page":"257-267","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Kinematics
