Biomechanical evaluation of annulus fibrosus repair with scaffold and soft anchors in an ex vivo porcine model

Introduction: Altered biomechanical properties, due to intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration and missing nucleus fibrosus, could be thought as one of the reasons for the back pain many herniation patients experience after surgery. It has been suggested to repair annulus fibrosus (AF) to restore sta...
