Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 11 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“cervical fusion” is, but they should, have. This case is not a dispute about the meaning of an uncommon term or term of art. But parties should define this kind of term even if its meaning is not in dispute and does not drive the outcome. Doing so makes the case more understandable and gives clarity to readers. We have included some definitions to make this opinion more understandable; but they were not necessary to the outcome. "Cervical fusion” is a surgery that joins bones in the neck.
