Outline  Introduction  Anatomy and pathophysiology  Clinical presentation  Diagnostic studies  Treatment options

. Too much pain, Too little money  $86 Billion spent on back and neck pain (2005)  More U.S. health care dollars are spent treating back and neck pain than any other medical condition.

Why Disc?

PART 1 - NULEUS RESIST COMPRESSION TO 8X BODY WEIGHT LAMINATIONS OF ANNULUS, Angulated & Overlapping GEL GEL HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURE PLIES AT L5-S1

NUCLEUS PULPOSUS

Proteoglycan = Super sponge

PLIES OR LAMINATIONS OF TIRE Part 2- ANULUS LAMINATED CONSTRUCTION OF THE ANNULUS RESISTS MECHANICAL FORCES YET PRESERVES SEGMENTAL MOTION ( THE AUTOMOBILE TIRE, WITH ITS HIGH INTERNAL PRESSURE IS QUITE SIMILAR.) HIGH INTERNAL AIR PRESSURE MAINTAINS THE INTEGRITY OF THE TIRE NOTE ANGULATION & OPERLAPPING PLIES

PART 3- ENDPLATE /VASCULAR: ENDPLATE FILTRATION SYSTEM For Transfer of Nutrients and Waste Removal µ GLOMERULUS DUCT CARTILAGENOUS END PLATE End-Plate BONE VERTEBRAL SPONGIOSA WITHIN mm

HOW THE DISC DEGENERATES Of Annulus Of Gel

THE STRUCTURES OF THE ENDPLATE WORK WITH THE NUCLEUS AS A METABOLIC PUMP ESCAPE ROUTES TOXINS BUILD-UP ANEROBIC NORMAL PATHS FOR DILUTION OF TOXINS

CHEMICAL CAUSES OF DISCOGENIC PAIN One of The Key Components Insoluble Portion of Cell MEMBRANE= Phospholipase A 2 Occurs in High Concentration Inside Degenerated Discs And Unfortunately Is A Powerful Naturally Occurring Neurotoxin Now Soluble

OUTER ANNULUS VESSEL & NERVE BELT * AREAS OF HIGHEST NERVE & VESSEL CONCENTRATION, BUT ONLY IN THE OUTER 6 ANNULAR LAYERS * **

ANNULAR DEGENERATION, A PRECURSOR TO POTENTIAL INSTABILITY AND PAIN DEGENERATED, FIBROTIC NUCLEUS CIRCUMFERENTIAL TEARS EDEMA OF GEL LAYERS OUTER ANNULUS TEARS

TYPES OF ANNULAR TEARS RADIAL TEAR CIRCUMFERENTIAL TEAR

COMBINED DEGENERATION, LEAKAGE AND GANGLIONIC ATROPHY This Rare Case of Long-Standing Back and Leg Pain Shows Atrophy Of the Ganglion And Post-Ganglionic Nerve. An Old HNP is Also Seen At the Midline * *

MECHANICAL FAILURE

INTRADISCO PRESSURE

Disc Degeneration  Controversial  Young patients  Mostly mechanical back pain worsen with any activities  Sitting intolerance  More pain with flexion than extension  ?Abnormal psychological profile

Discogenic pain

Disc Degeneration  Black disc  HIZ HIZ

Treat patient not x-ray !  67Asymptomatic volunteers:  MRI + Herniated disc  <60 yo = 20%  >60 yo = 36%  >80 yo = 90% (Boden JBJS 1990)  98 Asymptomatic vol.  36% had normal disc at all levels (Jensen NEJM 1994)

PROVOCATIVE DISCOGRAPHY NORMAL LEVEL DEGENERATIVE LEVEL

DISCOGRAM  Carragee, E  Spine dec, 2000  Randomized  Symptomatic patients  17/27 (63%) = +  Asymptomatic patients  8/20 (40%) = -  April, C  Sine J 2005  Control  Asymptomatic, 55 disc, 58% Grade 3 tear, all had negative discogram result.

Non-Operative Treatment  NSAID  Physical therapy  Epidural steroid injection  Activity modification

Disc pressure & position  Highest sitting with forwarded posture  Lower with straight or relaxed with arm rest.  Lowest with standing

OCCUPATIONAL PREVENTION  Inclination of backrest to 110 deg, lumbar support, arm rest.  Decrease vibration input.  Keep object center of mass close to the body
