Background

Fissures in the anulus fibrosus are common in disc degeneration, and are associated with discogenic pain. We hypothesise that anulus fissures are conducive to the ingrowth of blood vessels and nerves.

Purpose

To investigate the mechanical and chemical micro-environment of anulus fissures.
