Anatomical Characteristics of Deer and Sheep Lumbar Spines: Comparison to the Human Lumbar Spine

Deer and sheep spines are often used as models of the human spine. A prerequisite for the use of animal models is information regarding the interspecies differences in the parameters of general interest. This would clarify the limitations of each animal model and substantiate the applicability of th...
