In patients with spinal metastases, kinematic instability is postulated as a predictor of pathologic vertebral fractures. However, the relationship between this kinematic instability and the loss of spinal strength remains unknown. Twenty-four 3-level thoracic and lumbar segments from eight female cadaver spines, age 47–69 years, were kinematically assessed in axial compression (180N) and axial compression with flexion or extension moment (7.5Nm). Two patterns of lytic defects were mechanically stimulated; a) vertebral body defect (Taneichi model C, n=13) and b) model C + compromise of the ipsilateral pedicle and facet joint (Taneichi model E, n=11). The kinematic response was re-tested, and compression strength was measured. We applied two-way repeated measures analysis to test the model’s (C, E) effect on the change (lesion vs. control) in the segment’s kinematic response. We used multivariable linear regression to test the association between changes in the segment’s kinematic parameters and compressive strength. Compared to model C, model E caused significantly higher changes to the segments extension (p=0.0233) and torsional (p=0.0429) ROM, and sagittal translation (p<0.001) under extension moments and sagittal translations (p=0.0452) under flexion moments. Destruction of the middle column (p<0.0001), higher axial translations under flexion (p=0.0002), and extension (p=0.0021), and sagittal translations under flexion (p=0.0009), were negatively associated with lower segment’s compressive strength. Critical spinal lytic defects affect kinematic abnormality with lower spine compressive strength, suggesting reduced spinal structural rigidity.
