Degenerative disc disease, abbreviated DDD, is a common ditzel, typically generated in the course of a discectomy operation.
Vertebral disc and discectomy redirect here.
General
- Herniated disc cause back pain.
- May result in cauda equina syndrome.
- Composed of fibrous cartilage.[1]
Microscopic
Features:
- Benign fibrous tissue.
- Nests of chondrocytes (as in immature cartilage).
