The LBP Forecast After Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH)

Models of Disc Degeneration
What is the goal of the Study?
This Study aims to learn more about in-vitro models of disc degeneration. In this review paper, the authors sought a clinical perspective on the current state of in-vitro modelling related to the disruption, overloading…

Posture and Disc Herniation
Goal of the Study?
Logically, one would think that an intervertebral disc with internal disruptions would be more likely to experience a disc herniation. Currently, especially in physiotherapy, there is a push to steer away from concepts of…

Disk Degeneration Higher than Reported in the Youth at this Hospital
Goal of the Study?
The goal of this study[1.Magnetic resonance imaging findings among young adults with low back pain at Nsambya hospital] was to have a closer look at the younger population's lower back MRI findings. Most epidemiological investigations…

Fibrotic alterations in human annulus fibrosus correlate with progression of intervertebral disc herniation
Goal of the Study?
In this histological analysis article from the Arthritis Research and Therapy Journal [1. Fibrotic Alterations In Human Annulus Fibrosus Correlate With Progression Of Intervertebral Disc Herniation] the authors’ goal was…

Vacuum Phenomenon – What is it and can it tell us anything about the dynamics of the spine?
Goal of the Study?
Intradiscal vacuum phenomenon is a commonly observed radiological finding in the spine but not much is known about its pathophysiology. A recent paper was published in The European Spine Journal[1.Advanced disc degeneration,…

Disentangling ‘sciatica’ to understand and characterize somatosensory profiles and potential pain mechanisms
Goal of the Study?
In this case-controlled study from the Scandinavian Journal of Pain[1.Disentangling ‘sciatica’ to understand and characterise somatosensory profiles and potential pain mechanisms] the authors’ goal was to investigate…

Correlation Between Proteolytic Enzymes and Micro Angiogenesis in Degenerative Intervertebral Disc Nucleus
Goal of the Study?
In this case-control study from the Journal of Investigative Surgery [1. Correlation Between Proteolytic Enzymes and Micro Angiogenesis in Degenerative Intervertebral Disc Nucleus] the authors’ goal was to determine if…
