Fig. 5From: Effects of annulus defects and implantation of poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)/fibrin gel scaffolds on nerves ingrowth in a rabbit model of annular injury disc degenerationChanges in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) after surgery. The MRI scores of the three experimental groups were significantly higher than those of the control group at 1 and 6 months (*P < 0.01 vs. control group). At 6 months, the MRI score of the PLGA/fibrin gel implantation group was lower than that of the 16G puncture group or annulus trephination (# P < 0.05 vs. 16G puncture group or annulus defect group)Back to article page
