摘要

The intervertebral disc (IVD) is a fibrocartilaginous structure with the primary function of shock absorption, transmitting compressive loads between vertebral bodies. IVD is composed of three main components: the cartilaginous endplates, the central nucleus pulposus, and the peripherally located annulus fibrosus.
