The focus of this study was to investigate the effects total disc replacement (TDR) on the range of motion (ROM) and facet joint stress at the lumbar spine region. A three-dimensional (3D) finite element model of the osseoligamentous lumbar spine was developed and subjected to the moment load in fle...
