Unilateral Osteotomy of Lumbar Facet Joint Induces a Mouse Model of Lumbar Facet Joint Osteoarthritis

Conclusion. We develop a novel LFJ OA model demonstrating the effect of abnormal mechanical instability on the degeneration of LFJ. This LFJ degeneration model that highly mimics the clinical conditions is a valuable tool to investigate the LFJ osteoarthritis. Level of Evidence: N/A
