The intervertebral disc (IVD) aids in motion and acts to absorb energy transmitted to the spine. With little inherent regenerative capacity, degeneration of the intervertebral disc results in interver...
Intervertebral disc degeneration is a contributor to chronic back pain. While a part of the natural aging process, early or rapid intervertebral disc degeneration is highly heritable. In this review, ...
Use of large cohorts of patient data to conduct genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for intervertebral disc disease, and to lesser extent for aspects of this process, such as disc height, has resul...
To determine the impact of ethanol gel chemonucleolysis (EGCh) on the radiological picture of the treated intervertebral disc, the relationship between the initial radiological status and the clinical...
The study involved a group of 45 patients (25 men and 20 women) aged 23-68 years (46 ± 11) who underwent an EGCh procedure after qualification, radiography, and clinical questionnaire evaluation....
The results showed a decrease in the size of the protrusion and Gadolinium-Enhanced (GI) zone in the treated intervertebral disc. The presence of a high-intensity zone (HIZ) on baseline magnetic reson...
These findings suggest that EGCh is a promising treatment for spine diseases, and the HIZ on baseline magnetic resonance imaging can be used as a qualification criterion for this procedure....
Behçet's disease (BD) is a chronic systemic vasculitis with a wide range of clinical findings. It has both autoinflammatory and autoimmune features and manifests with recurrent inflammatory attacks in...
Cervical prolapsed intervertebral disc is one of the common conditions causing cervical myeloradiculopathy. Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion (ACDF) is the standard line of management for the sa...
We report a patient with C5-6 cervical disc prolapse that presented with radiculopathy symptoms in the right upper limb, which was refractory to conservative care. He underwent a C5-6 ACDF and reporte...
Careful review of preoperative imaging and contrast MRI study may help in diagnosing cystic schwannomas with concomitant cervical disc herniations that have cord signal changes....
Paediatric intervertebral disc calcification (PIDC) is a rare disease, and its aetiology remains unknown. This study aimed to analyse the characteristics and clinical outcomes of patients with PIDC....
After applying the exclusion and inclusion criteria, 159 children diagnosed with PIDC were analysed at our hospital between January 2010 and November 2020. Patients' demographic and clinical data were...
One hundred and fifty-nine patients were ultimately followed up with for about 12.5 ± 5.8 months. There were 103 male and 56 female, with an average age of 6.08 ± 2.62 years (2 months to 12 years). A ...
PIDC can be treated conservatively, even when accompanied by herniation, longitudinal ligament calcification, or clinical neck symptoms....

Recently, more and more people suffer from low back pain triggered by lumbar degenerative disc disease. The mechanical factor is one of the most significant causes of disc degeneration. This study aim...
A finite element model of the L4-L5 lumbar spine was developed and validated. The model not only considered changes in permeability coefficient with strain, but also included physiological factors suc...
The simulation results revealed that the facet joints shared massive stresses of the intervertebral discs, and prevented excessive lumbar spine movement. However, their asymmetrical position may have ...
The variation in the biomechanical performance of the intervertebral disc could be attributed to the periodic movement of internal fluids. This study might be helpful for understanding the mechanism o...
BACKGROUND Lower back pain is a common problem in the general population. Medical treatment is the first choice for patients without severe pain and major motor weakness. If patients do not benefit fr...
Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) and associated conditions are an important problem in modern medicine. The onset of IDD may be in childhood and adolescence in patients with a genetic predisposi...
Prospective observational study....
To determine the prevalence of isolated thoracic degeneration on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), demographic factors and imaging features, as well as the patient-reported quality of life outcomes as...
Thoracic intervertebral discs are least susceptible to disc degeneration (DD) and may represent a manifestation of "dysgeneration." These discs may never be hydrated from the beginning and seem hypoin...
A population-based MRI study of 2007 volunteers was conducted. Each disc from C2/3 to L5/S1 was measured by Pfirrmann and Schneiderman grading. Disc herniation, Schmorl node (SN), high-intensity zones...
The mean age of the subjects was 50.0 ± 0.5 and 61.4% were females (n = 1232). Isolated thoracic degeneration was identified in 2.3% of the cohort. Factors associated with isolated thoracic degenerati...
Isolated thoracic degeneration demonstrated an earlier age of onset, mostly involving the mid-thoracic region (T5/6-T8/9), and in association with findings such as SN. Subjects with tandem thoracolumb...
