Three columns were left unaltered as controls. Non\u2010destructive biomechanical testing showed the kinematic range of motion (ROM), compliance, and neutral zone of each spinal unit in the three main kinematic directions (flexion\u2010extension, lateral bending and axial rotation). Destructive testing was performed to identify mode of failure and stiffness in flexion. Non\u2010destructive and destructive biomechanical data were compared by ANOVA between experimental groups.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results<\/jats:title>\n \n In flexion\u2010extension, PSR and PSRIFD had significantly lower ROM, compliance and neutral zone than controls (all\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.05). ROM, compliance and neutral zone were not different between PSR and PSRIFD groups. In axial rotation, the neutral zone of PSR was lower than PSRIFD (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009=\u2009.013) and both were lower than controls (\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.0001 and\n p<\/jats:italic>\n \u2009<\u2009.02, respectively). Stiffness and moment failure between PSR and PSRIFD groups were not different. All constructs failed through articular process joint dislocation, though the PSRIFD group also had ventral IFD migration.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n PSR and PSRIFD groups have similar biomechanical properties and modes of failure, though PSRIFD had higher catastrophic injury potential.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Clinical significance<\/jats:title>\n These
