Disc volume reduction with percutaneous nucleoplasty in an animal model.

Disc volume reduction with percutaneous nucleoplasty in an animal model.

STUDY DESIGN: We assessed volume following nucleoplasty disc decompression in lower lumbar spines from cadaveric pigs using 7.1Tesla magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). PURPOSE: To investigate coblation-induced volume reductions as a possible mechanism underlying nucleoplasty. METHODS: We assessed vol...
