Biomechanics of Disc Degeneration

Biomechanics of Disc Degeneration

Disc degeneration and associated disorders are among the most debated topics in the orthopedic literature over the past few decades. These may be attributed to interrelated mechanical, biochemical, and environmental factors. The treatment options vary from conservative approaches to surgery, depending on the severity of degeneration and response to conservative therapies. Spinal fusion is consi...

Degeneration of the intervertebral disc

The intervertebral disc is a cartilaginous structure that resembles articular cartilage in its biochemistry, but morphologically it is clearly different. It shows degenerative and ageing changes earlier than does any other connective tissue in the body. It is believed to be important clinically because there is an association of disc degeneration with back pain. Current treatments are predomina...

Single Voxel Spectroscopy Of Intervertebral Disc Degeneration — An In Vitro Bovine Disc Degeneration Model

Introduction: Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD) afflicts nearly 12 million people in the United States and is a leading cause of lumbar spine-related lowerback pain [1]. Conventional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a critical role in detection of late-stage degenerative changes (such as changes in disc morphology, height, bulge and herniation). Recently, other MRI methods have been propos...
