The underlying mechanisms are not fully understood and remain a series of ongoing research in large animal model. Because of the ethically and economically accessible issues as well as anatomical similarity with human disc, the goats were used to develop reliable surgical approaches for lumbar spine exposure and disc allograft trans… |
