Biomaterial and Regenerative Medicine Approaches to Restoration of Flexion in Lumbar Herniated Disc
Journal Title: Global Journal of Biotechnology and Biomaterial Science - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective: The systematic objective of this paper is to restore flexion in vertebral bone and to nourish the nucleus pulposus through the approach of biomaterial and regenerative medicine. Method: Studies were made on the treatment of lumbar herniated disc in CINAHIL, PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) and Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews(CDSR). This paper provides methods for restoration of flexion in the bone. A biomaterial scaffold made of poly-β-hydroxybutyrate (PHB) consisting of extracellular matrix (ECM) proteins which is synthesized in vitro through regenerative medicine is replaced in the place of degenerated disc. The scaffold model is designed in CAD and then printed in LAB. The metabolic functions of the disc are performed by the scaffold.
