This Item includes 2,900 files with the individual facet joint surfaces from 29 lumbar spines from L1 to S1 levels. Each specimen has four files per level: the superior and inferior surfaces for each side of the joint. <br><br>Additionally, these surfaces were captured at one of five spine positions: neutral, flexion, extension, right lateral bending, right axial rotation.<br><br>Nomenclature: [Specimen number][spinal Level][side][location][position] <br><br>Example: "1405044L2RSNEU.txt" is the Right Superior L2 facet surface of specimen 1405044 in neutral position.<br><br>Specimen number is a 7 number string ex. 1405044Spinal Level: L1 to L5 in addition to S1 (Sacrum)<br>Side is Left or Right (L or R)<br>Location is Inferior (I) or Superior (S)<br>Position is one of five: neutral (NEU), flexion (FLEX), extension (EXT), right lateral bending (RLB), and right axial rotation (RAR).<br>
