Intervertebral disc composition in neuromuscular scoliosis: changes in cell density and glycosaminoglycan concentration at the curve apex.

STUDY DESIGN: An analysis of the variation in glycosaminoglycan, water content, and cell density with disc level in patients with neuromuscular scoliosis. OBJECTIVES: To determine whether the composition of the apical disc differed from that of adjacent discs in the same spine. SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND...
