Modeling of Intervertebral Discs
Spine, 1980A model with rotational symmetry of an intervertebral disc is studied. The nucleus pulposus is assumed to consist of an incompressible fluid, and the annulus fibrosus is modeled by 11 fiber layers with alternating fiber inclination. The spaces between the fiber layers are assumed to be filled with an incompressible fluid.

Mechanobiology of the intervertebral disc
Biochemical Society Transactions, 2002Intervertebral disc degeneration has been linked in humans to extreme spinal loading regimens. However, mechanisms by which spinal force influences disc cellularity, morphology and consequently biomechanical function are unclear. To gain insight into mechanobiological interactions within the disc, we developed an in vivo murine tail-compression model ...

Intervertebral Disc Arthroplasty
Spine, 2004Review article of current knowledge of disc arthroplasty.To review the rationale for disc replacement, the general principles of design, and early clinical results.Disc arthroplasty is an emerging treatment for patients with disc degeneration. Its theoretical advantages are to maintain motion, decrease the incidence of adjacent segment degeneration ...

Estrogens and the intervertebral disc
Menopause International, 2009Intervertebral discs are an integral part of the vertebral column. It has been shown that menopause has a negative effect on bone and on intervertebral discs. Estrogen has a beneficial effect of preserving the health of collagen-containing tissues, including the intervertebral disc.

Intervertebral Disc Prostheses
Spine, 2003This article is based on a comprehensive review of the literature related to intervertebral disc prostheses.To compile an overview of the results and complications related to various types of lumbar and cervical disc replacements.A functional disc prosthesis has been sought since the 1950s. Although there were a few early attempts, disc replacement did

Those interested in the human spine and its afflictions always welcome summaries of our present knowledge. In the initial chapters of this book, the authors lucidly summarize spine embryology, anatomy, and mechanics. An outline of pathology, biochemistry, and metabolic alterations during various stages of degenerative disk disease provides basic ...

Intervertebral disc degeneration
European Spine Journal, 1993Disc degeneration in the human spine is a complex phenomenon characterised by biochemical change in the nucleus pulposus and inner annulus and the formation of clefts and fissures radiating from the central area of the disc towards the periphery. In addition, and probably independent of these phenomena, discrete defects in the outer annular attachement

The appearance of gas shadows in joints under certain conditions is well known. Young children whose laxity of the joint ligaments allows wide separation of the articular surfaces are especially prone to accumulate gas in the joint space when the joint is placed under strain.
