Endplate calcification and cervical intervertebral disc degeneration: the role of endplate marrow contact channel occlusion.

BACKGROUND The aim of this study was to determine the fundamental relationships between cervical intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration, endplate calcification, and the patency of endplate marrow contact channels (MCC). MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty cervical IVDs were excised from 30 human cadavers. After sectioning the specimens underwent micro computed tomography (microCT) - from all images t...

Correlation between intervertebral disc degeneration, paraspinal muscle atrophy, and lumbar facet joints degeneration in patients with lumbar disc herniation

BACKGROUND To assess the correlation between lumbar disc degeneration (LDD), multifidus muscle atrophy (LMA), and facet joints degeneration in patients with L4-L5 lumbar disc herniation (LDH). METHODS Sixty patients with L4-L5 LDH diagnosed by a 1.5 T MRI scanner were enrolled in the study group and another 60 patients with non-specific back pain were enrolled in the control group. LDD, LMA, ...

Pediatric intervertebral disc calcification.

Idiopathic calcification of the intervertebral disc is a rare condition in childhood, of unknown etiology. Calcifications are occasionally discovered on routine radiological examination, or on investigation of nonspecific symptoms such as neck pain, torticollis, fever, and radiculopathy. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with intervertebral disc calcification. Clinical and radiological signs...

The lumbar intervertebral disc: from embryonic development to degeneration.

Lumbar intervertebral discs (IVDs) are prone to degeneration upon skeletal maturity. In fact, this process could explain approximately 40% of the cases of low back pain in humans. Despite the efficiency of pain-relieving treatments, the scientific community seeks to develop innovative therapeutic approaches that might limit the use of invasive surgical procedures (e.g., spine fusion and arthrop...

Human lumbar apophyseal joint damage and intervertebral disc degeneration.

OBJECTIVES To record the extent and location of lumbar apophyseal cartilage damage, and to ascertain if the extent of damage is correlated with the grade of disc degeneration, age, or both. METHODS The extent and location of fibrillated areas of the apophyseal cartilage of the joint surfaces of 29 lumbar motion segments were examined using computer aided image processing of Indian ink stained...

Lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and related factors in Korean firefighters

OBJECTIVES The job of firefighting can cause lumbar burden and low back pain. This study aimed to identify the association between age and lumbar intervertebral disc degeneration and whether the association differs between field and administrative (non-field) firefighters. METHODS Subjects were selected using a stratified random sampling method. Firefighters were stratified by geographic area...
