Collagen polymorphisms of the intervertebral disc.
The mechanical function and the collagen phenotype of the disc are complex, each a hybrid of elements of ligament and cartilage. In detail, the collagen properties are unique. Collagens I and II provide the bulk of the tissue fabric interwoven in opposing radial concentration gradients. From analysis of isolated cross-linked peptides, some degree of commingling of these major fibrillar collagen...
متن کاملThe collagen of the intervertebral disc in adolescent idiopathic scoliosis.
A defect in the collagenous matrix of the intervertebral disc has been proposed as a contributory factor in the pathogenesis or progression, or both, ofthe scoliotic deformity. In an attempt to resolve these questions the collagen extractability and distribution across normal and scoliotic discs was investigated.

A small proportion of patients develop a true recurrent prolapse (prolapse from the same disc) months to years later. This varies in individual statistics, but is probably in the neighbourhood of 4 per cent. to 5 per cent. These recurrent attacks of sciatica, due to a further protru...
متن کاملPediatric intervertebral disc calcification.
Idiopathic calcification of the intervertebral disc is a rare condition in childhood, of unknown etiology. Calcifications are occasionally discovered on routine radiological examination, or on investigation of nonspecific symptoms such as neck pain, torticollis, fever, and radiculopathy. We report a case of a 7-year-old boy with intervertebral disc calcification. Clinical and radiological signs...
متن کاملThe Prolapsed Intervertebral Disc
Neurology lays many claims to being one of the more precise and scientific branches of medicine but, nevertheless, there have been several neurological conditions almost mediaeval in their conceptions. One of these is a group included under the general heading of the neuritides-namely, sciatic and brachial neuritis and neuralgia. There is now a large body of evidence to show that the humoral, a...
