- BACKGROUND: Spinal loading during daily activity as it relates to the ability of the intervertebral disc to sustain its integrity has been a major issue in spinal research. The purpose of this investigation was to establish the relationship between the intervertebral disc pressure in the nucleus and the load applied to the motion segment in an in vivo porcine model. METHODS: Nine domestic pigs were used in this study. A miniaturized servohydraulic testing machine was affixed to the lumbar spine via four intrapedicular screws, which were inserted bilaterally into the L2 and L3 vertebrae. A pressure needle was inserted through the lateral part of the L2-L3 disc annulus and into the nucleus pulposus. Force, deformation, and intradiscal pressure data were collected during a loading scheme that consisted of applying a set of constant loads in increasing order, that is, 50, 100, 150, 200, and 250 N. Each load was applied for 30 seconds followed by 30-second restitution. RESULTS: Intradiscal nucleus pressure was found to correlate to the applied load in all cases. Linear regression analyses resulted in the following equation: intradiscal pressure (MPa) = 0.08 + 1.25E(-3)(load, N), r(2) = 0.81, n = 8. Intradiscal pressure was also highly linearly dependent on the stress. The intrinsic intradiscal pressure was found to be 81 +/- 5 kPa. The results also indicated that the pressure within the disc exhibited a creep behavior. CONCLUSION: In conclusion, pressure in the nucleus of the porcine intervertebral disc was linearly related to the applied load and stress.
