End Plate Disproportion and Degenerative Disc Disease: A Case-Control Study
STUDY DESIGN Case-control. PURPOSE To determine whether a disproportion between two neighboring vertebral end plates is associated with degenerative disc disease. OVERVIEW OF LITERATURE Recently, it has been suggested that disproportion of the end plates of two adjacent vertebrae may increase the risk of disc herniation. METHODS Magnetic resonance (MR) images (n=160) with evidence of grad...
متن کاملDegenerative Disc Disease
The spinal cord is one of the most important and most sensitive organs in the body. If it is damaged the nerve cells do not regenerate but are replaced with fibrous tissue. Thus injuries usually result in permanent damage. Therefore, the spinal cord is protected in a very special fashion. It goes through a bony canal within the spine; it is surrounded by protective bone everywhere except over t...
متن کاملDegenerative Disc disease (DDD)
If you have chronic back or neck pain, you may have degenerative disc disease. This degenerative spinal condition is not really a disease—it’s the normal wear and tear process of aging on your spine. Unfortunately, as we age, our intervertebral discs (pillow-like pads between the bones in your spine) lose their flexibility, elasticity, and shock absorbing characteristics. When this happens, the...
متن کاملDegenerative Disc Disease: A Review of Cell Technologies and Stem Cell Therapy
Background & Aim: Low back pain is broadly documented as one of the most widespread pathologies in the advanced domain. Although the reasons of low back pain are uncountable, it has been meaningfully related to intervertebral disc degeneration. Present therapies for Intervertebral Disc (IVD) degeneration such as physical therapy and spinal fusion reduce symptoms' severity, but do not treat the ...
متن کاملPathophysiology of Degenerative Disc Disease
The intervertebral disc is characterized by a tension-resisting annulus fibrosus and a compression-resisting nucleus pulposus composed largely of proteoglycan. The most important function of the annulus and nucleus is to provide mechanical stability to the disc. Degenerative disc disease in the lumbar spine is a serious health problem. Although the three joint complex model of the degenerative ...
