Ex-vivo biomechanical evaluation of the application of a novel annulus closure device to closure of annulus fibrosus

ObjectiveTo investigate the technical feasibility of applying a simple suture guide device to close the annulus fibrosus (AF) of the intervertebral discs (IVD).Methods30 sheep functional discal units (FDUs) were obtained and subjected to mock discectomy. Mock sutures were performed using 3–0 non-abs...
