Chronic low back pain is one of the most common problems of all age groups worldwide. If conservative treatment fails, the following surgical options – depending on the underlying cause - currently apply: lumbar discectomy, disc arthroplasty or fusion surgery as the ultimate procedure. An emerging technique, nucleoplasty, aims at targeting early stages of disc degeneration. There are various mechanical, polymeric or tissue engineered devices for nucleus pulposus replacement, some of which have been subjects of studies and clinical trials. We are already looking back at a history of failed devices; as well, complications have been reported such as migration, extrusion and subsidence. On most devices, no long-term data are available yet. Our ...
