Vertebral intraosseous plasma rich in growth factor (PRGF-Endoret) infiltrations as a novel strategy for the treatment of degenerative lesions of endplate in lumbar pathology: description of technique and case presentation

摘要

Axial and sagittal T2-weighted images (T2WI) pre-treatment at the lumbar spinal level L3/L4 showing MRI measurements (in mm). Sagittal measurements of lumbar disc protrusion diameter at cranio-caudal (CC) and antero-posterior (AP) sections; sagittal dimension of Schmörl’s node diameter (SND) at cranio-caudal (CC) and antero-posterior (AP) sections; and axial dimension of SND at latero-lateral (LL) section
