Disc geometry measurement methods affect reported compressive mechanics by up to 65%

Abstract Mechanical testing is a valuable tool for assessing intervertebral disc health, but the wide range of testing protocols makes it difficult to compare results from different studies. Normalizing mechanical properties by disc geometry allows for such comparisons, but there is little consisten...
