Sudden Loads On Lumbar Discs

In experiments on lumbar spines from cadavers the commonest way a disc will fail is if it is placed in significant bending and compressed quickly is to form a prolapse at the rear of the disc. Prolapse occurred most easily in discs which had not degenerated but were between forty and fifty years old. It was not possible to make a very degenerated disc prolapse. The angle of bend or the compressive forces do not need to be excessive as if one of them is over the normal limits it can generate a prolapse. Prolapses mirrored what people say as they occurred with an audible popping sound and occurred suddenly.

Typically a complete split appeared in the rear part of the disc wall and through this fissure the internal nuclear material prolapsed. The prolapse either occurred at one corner of the back of the disc (a common finding in people with disc problems) or more centrally where the nearby ligament prevented it from moving out further. Disc prolapse occurs mostly in discs with some weakening of the disc wall fibres yet a reasonably good nucleus which can respond to the forces by generating high pressures. Degenerated discs did not prolapse on testing.
