Comparison of methods for determining the presence and extent of anterior lumbar interbody fusion.

abstract：:Changes in the macromolecular matrix of the intervertebral disc may predispose to biomechanical failure of the disc. Such changes would involve extracellular enzymes capable of altering the collagen and proteoglycan of the disc matrix. In this study, extracts from homogenates of both annuli fibrosi and nuclei pulposi ...
