The functional spinal unit.[1]
The functional spinal unit (FSU) is the smallest motion segment of the spine. It includes two vertebrae with an interleaving intervertebral disc anteriorly and two facet joints posteriorly. In the normal state, approximately 70% of axial compression is transmitted by the vertebral bodies and discs and the remaining 30% posteriorly through the facet joints.
