Nutrition of the Intervertebral Disc

Spine, 2004
A review of the literature on disc nutrition.To summarize the information on disc nutrition in relation to disc degeneration.The disc is avascular, and the disc cells depend on diffusion from blood vessels at the disc's margins to supply the nutrients essential for cellular activity and viability and to remove metabolic wastes such as lactic acid.
