Adams Published Online:1 Aug 2013 https://doi.org/10.1302/0301-620X.95B8.31660 The belief that an intervertebral disc must degenerate before it can herniate has clinical and medicolegal significance, but lacks scientific validity. We hypothesised that […]

The Spine Journal Volume 13, Issue 3, March 2013, Pages 318-330 Christopher K.Kepler MD https://doi.org/10.1016/j.spinee.2012.12.003 Abstract Background Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration remains a clinically important condition for which treatment is costly and relatively ineffective. The molecular basis of degenerative disc disease has been an intense focus of research recently, which has greatly increased our understanding […]
In addition, glycosaminoglycan synthesis stimulated by glucosamine provides a possible promising clinical role for treating disc degenerative disorders.
