Figure 4From: High pressures and asymmetrical stresses in the scoliotic disc in the absence of muscle loading Typical profile of measurements across a single disc with a hydrostatic region. These results showing the typical features of a vertical stress peak in the concave annulus and a hydrostatic region towards the convexity were recorded in the L1/L2 disc of a 13 year old neuromuscular scoliotic patient (Patient 3).Back to article page
