INTRADISCAL THERAPY FOR TREATMENT OF DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE

AHMED FATHY ABDEL HAMID RADWAN;

Abstract


Low back pain is one of the most common medical problems of the middle age population .Most of this low back pain arise from pathology in the intervertebral disc, either directly through disc prolpse,or indirectly via degenerative disc disease that transmits unfilvourable load to other spinal segements.

Intervertebral discs are composed of a semiliquid central portion,the nucleus pulposus,two cartilage plates that separate the nucleus from the adjacent vertebral bodies,and a thick ring of fibrous tissue , the annulus fibrosus.

The intervertebral discs stabilize the spine and maintain its alignment by anchoring adjacent vertebral bodies to each other . The intervertebral discs allow the movement between vertebrae that gives the spine its flexibility, and they absorb energy and distribute loads applied to the spine.
