Fig 3. Quantitative analysis of disc height index and MRI.

Fig 3

A) Stably implanted TE-IVD had significant retention of disc height compared to the discectomy control at 4 and 16 weeks (asterisks, p<0.001 at 4 and p = 0.012 at 16 weeks, respectively). B) TE-IVDs demonstrated significantly higher NP voxel counts than the discectomy controls after 4, 8, and 16 weeks (asterisks denote p<0.02 for all time points) C) TE-IVD had significantly higher T2-relaxation times than the discectomy group at 4 weeks (asterisk, p = 0.007). All data are represented as mean +/- standard error.
