COMPARISON OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES BETWEEN SINGLE AND MULTI LAMELLAR SAMPLES OF INTERVERTEBRAL DISC

Małgorzata Żak, Celina Pezowicz
Abstract:
Annulus fibrosus as important element of structure of intervertebral disc play fundamental role in mechanical function of spine. Lamellar annulus fibrosus wall mainly consist of collagen fibers, water and proteoglycans. Arrangement of the fibrous matrix in intervertebral disc decide to nonlinear and strongly anisotropic tensile behaviour of the anulus fibrosus.
The presented study, provide information about influence number of lamellar, structural organization and connection vertebral bone with annulus fibrosus at mechanical properties.
