The specimens were randomly separated into two groups. In Group I the specimens were fixed in a lordotic posture, and in Group II they were fixed in a straight posture. Axial compressive loads were applied at a constant rate of 5 cm\/minute. Load-to-failure, time-to-failure, piston displacement at failure, and failure modes were recorded. Statistical analyses were performed to detect differences between the groups.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\">There was no significant difference in load-to-failure values between the two groups. However, the time-to-failure and the piston displacement values for the straight spines were significantly less than those for the lordotic spines. Additionally, the straight spines failed predominantly through ventral elements, whereas the lordotic spines predominantly failed dorsally.<\/jats:p>\n<jats:p content-type=\"fine-print\"><jats:italic>Conclusions.<\/jats:italic> It is concluded that a loss of a lordosis increases the risk of injury to the cervical spine following axial loading.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3171\/spi.2001.94.1.0108","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2009,5,7]],"date-time":"2009-05-07T15:55:30Z","timestamp":1241711730000},"page":"108-114","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Effects of cervical spine posture on axial load bearing ability: a biomechanical study"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"94","author":[{"given":"Tun\u00e7","family":"\u00d6kteno\u01e7lu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"A.
