Soft tissue injuries induce lumbar instability and intervertebral disc degeneration: A mechanobiological study based on a rabbit model

Key Points

• Lumbar instability and intervertebral disc degeneration arise from soft tissue injuries, affecting mobility and health.
• Key outcomes show that mechanical changes lead to significant degeneration in intervertebral disc structures over time.
• Observational analysis in a rabbit model highlights the mechanobiological effects of soft tissue injuries on the spine.
• This finding supports the need for further exploration of therapeutic interventions in soft tissue injury recovery.
