Intervertebral disc regeneration – Is it possible? by Dragos Schiopu, Arnaud Devriendt, Clara Van Vyve, Tamas S. Illes

“…Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate disc metabolism after decreasing the axial load through surgery by assessing the glycosaminoglycan content through a non-invasive method—delayed gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging of cartilage (dGEMRIC). Methods: Sixteen patients with mono-segmental disc degeneration (L4-L5 or L5-S1) who underwent posterior lumbar spine fixation with intervertebral distraction of 2 consecutive vertebrae using monoaxial transpedicular screws and lyophilized allograft to achieve segmental fusion, and who had a follow-up period of at least 2 years, were included in this study. …”
