English Keywords:Decompression operations,Stability of spine,Thoracolumbar spine,

English Abstract:

  The effects of three types of decompression on the stabilization of thoracolumbar spines were studied by biomechanics. The results were; (1)The range of flexion-extension were gradually increased in both lateral and posterior decompression groups. (2)The
