The disk height, zs, is described by: (2 where f is the flaring index (see Y07).
When bilateral bony fusion of L5 to the sacrum was present, the L5-S1 disk height was significantly smaller than that without bony fusion (ie, 8% vs 12%to14%4% of total lumbar disk height, respectively).
As seen in Y07, there are three basic equations: an auxiliary equation describing the disk height and two balance equations.
The L5-S1 intervertebral disk height was significantly smaller in patients with lumbosacral transitional segments compared with those without (ie, 11% vs 19% of total lumbar disk height, respectively).
Both the flaring index, f, and the dimensionless disk height, v, are very small (f ≪ 1 and zs/r ≪ 1) because of the thin disk approximation.
Besides, the great majority of the analyzed models are two-dimensional, and they left to aside the effects related to the disk height.
