Intervertebral Disc Disease

Veterinary Clinics of North America: Small Animal Practice, 1992
This article describes the functional anatomy of intervertebral discs and their relationship to the vertebrae and spinal cord. The pathologic events and clinical complications of intervertebral disc disease are described. A discussion of proper staging of disc disease and appropriate conservative management of degenerative disc disease is included.

Biochemistry of the Intervertebral Disc

Clinics in Sports Medicine, 1993
In comparison to other tissues, understanding the disc biochemistry is only in the very early stage. The few facts that are known would point to strategies for interventions to alter disc biology and maintain disc biomechanics.

Strategies for Regeneration of the Intervertebral Disc

Regenerative Medicine, 2008
Low back pain resulting from degenerative disc disease is the most common cause of disability in the UK. Current low back pain treatments are aimed at either treating the symptoms of pain, or removing the source of pain itself, but do not address the biological basis of the disease.

Requirements for an artificial intervertebral disc

The International Journal of Artificial Organs, 2001
Intervertebral disc degeneration is an important social and economic problem. Presently available artificial intervertebral discs (AIDs) are insufficient and the main surgical intervention is still spinal fusion. The objective of the present study is to present a list of requirements for the development of an AID which could replace the human lumbar ...

Intervertebral disc degeneration in the dog. Part 1: Anatomy and physiology of the intervertebral disc and characteristics of intervertebral disc degeneration

The Veterinary Journal, 2013
Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is common in dogs and can give rise to a number of diseases, such as IVD herniation, cervical spondylomyelopathy, and degenerative lumbosacral stenosis. Although there have been many reports and reviews on the clinical aspects of canine IVD disease, few reports have discussed and reviewed the process of IVD ...

Pathophysiology of the human intervertebral disc

The International Journal of Biochemistry & Cell Biology, 2008
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a common invalidating disorder that can affect the musculoskeletal apparatus in both younger and older ages. The chief component of the intervertebral disc is the highly organized extracellular matrix; maintenance of its organization is essential for correct spinal mechanics.

The Intervertebral Disc

2019
The anatomical descriptions of the IVD include the nucleus pulposus and annulus fibrosus (classic but not as evident in the young), the vertebral endplate, and the marginal listel (apophyseal ring). The IVD infrastructure consists of proteoglycans, collagen, hyaluronic acid, and water with a hydrophilic role, hydraulic shock absorber, and stress ...

The Innervation of the Cervical Intervertebral Discs

Spine, 1988
Microdissection and histologic studies were undertaken to determine the innervation of the cervical intervertebral discs. The cervical sinuvertebral nerves were found to have an upward course in the vertebral canal, supplying the disc at their level of entry and the disc above.

Imaging Intervertebral Disc Degeneration

Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery, 2006
Magnetic resonance imaging provides excellent anatomic detail of spinal tissues, but fails to provide the type of information that permits a definitive diagnosis in many patients with back pain. New imaging strategies that can be applied to the study of intervertebral disc degeneration include diffusion-weighted imaging, magnetic resonance imaging ...
