Core Tip	Elastic resistance of the spinal motor unit is a biomechanical property often underestimated but crucial for the stability of the spine. The biomechanics of dynamic implants take into account only the motility of the devices and not the elastic resistance. Is it possible that this is the reason why dynamic implants almost fail?
