Abstract
|
|
|
|
In order to set up a baseline of the normal internal architecture of the lumbar discs, 127 lumbar discs of 30 normal adult subjects were studied by the measure set technique. The internal architectures of each disc were classified into 3 types; well-defined, intermediate, and diffuse type. With age, the internal architecture of the lumbar disc changed from the well-defined through the intermediate to diffuse type, representing degenerative change. The diffuse type was most frequently seen in the discs of L4-5 and L5-S1, suggesting the maximum intensity of stress and strain due to weight bearing at these levels.
