Poroelastic behaviour of the degenerating human intervertebral disc: a ten-day study in a loaded disc culture system

The intervertebral disc (IVD) allows flexibility to the vertebral column, and transfers the predominant axial loads during daily activities. Its axial biomechanical behaviour is poroelastic, due to the water-binding and releasing capacity of the nucleus pulposus. Degeneration of the intervertebral d...
