The lumbar vertebral disc

[摘要] In a time of a virtually endless number of spine meetings, many of interest to only a small group of researchers or scientists because of the restricted focus of the topics, AOSpine 2005 supported two unique symposia. These symposia differed from the general forum construct: in concept challenging the scientific community to integrate compelling mechanistic evidence for its clinical relevance and at the same time asking clinicians to focus their needs through the lens of the scientific community. Spotlighting the Lumbar Intervertebral Disc and the Lumbar Motion Segment for these initial forums could not have been more topical.
