Ligaments also play an important role in determining the behaviour of the intervertebral joint. If the joint is regarded as having three (rotational) 28 Joint Replacement Technology degrees of freedom, the ranges of motion of the unit are limited either by ligaments or by zygapophysial joints. In summary, the intervertebral joint is a unique structure. The combination of the intervertebral disc and the vertebrae allows it to transmit high loads while providing a high degree of flexibility. The spine can, of course, suffer injury and pathology which is difficult to manage.
