Compression suture: A method for simulating intervertebral disc degeneration in rats induced by excessive loading

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
In the compression suture group, a 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed, and then the defect was sutured to apply compressive force to the intervertebral disc. In the sham group, only the 5‐mm‐wide tail skin was removed without a compression suture. Compression suturing triggers apoptosis, inflammatory response, and imbalance of extracellular matrix ...
