      abstract     = {Ligament injuries of the cervical spine not only cause
                      personal limitations for patients, but also have
                      socioeconomic consequences. There is currently a lack of
                      studies that comparatively examine all typical cervical
                      spine ligaments (LSS, LIS, LIT, LF, KL, LLP, LLA) and the
                      facet joints of the entire subaxial cervical spine (C2-7) in
                      the three directions of movement (FE, LB, AR) under
                      continuous load increase. In the present study, this was
                      done by electromagnetic detection of the change in position
                      in a load range of ±0.5 Nm under consecutive resections of
                      the structures. The changes because of the individual
                      resections are different at the different levels and
                      directions. The KL and the WB play extensive roles in
                      limiting movement in the different directions. In contrast,
                      ligaments in the sagittal plane (LSS, LIS, LF, LLP, LLA)
                      mainly influence the FE. This is also the direction of
                      movement most frequently influenced by the individual
                      resections in a statistically significant way, whereas the
                      LB and AR are cumulatively influenced the most. Overall, the
                      following hypotheses can be formulated and specified:1. As
                      the number of resected structures increases, the BU of the
                      WFE mostly increases. 2. The direction of movement opposite
                      the resected structure is most affected, but not
                      exclusively.3. The BU and the role of the individual
                      structures vary between the different cervical spine levels
                      and directions of movement.4. The BU of the WFE of the
                      subaxial cervical spine increases non-linearly in vitro with
                      a continuous increase in load. This can be explained by the
                      increasing stiffness of the ligaments with increasing
                      load.5. The LIT plays a significant role in the AR of the
                      C2/3 level. The results presented are relevant both in
                      everyday clinical practice and in interdisciplinary
                      research, as they can be used to derive diagnostic and
                      therapeutic options. This could facilitate future research
                      and reduce its hurdles by saving human cervical spine
                      samples. Studies for example in combination with bony
                      fractures or intradiscal pressure measurement would be
                      possible to gain further insights and complete the field of
                      research.},
