Characterisation of Ovine and Human Vertebral Endplates using X-ray Microtomography: the Effects of Degeneration on Structure.
… been significant evidence indicating that the vertebral endplate (VEP) plays a major role in low back pain. The VEP balances two conflicting biophysical functions: providing both a nutritional pathway and mechanical support to the disc, therefore making it prone to damage. However, the VEP is …

Biomechanical and Finite Element Analyses of Alternative Cements for use in Vertebral Kyphoplasty
A vertebral compression fracture occurs when the vertebral body of the spine collapses due to osteoporosis or trauma. Depending on the degree of osteoporosis, the forces required to induce vertebral compression fracture can vary while the forces required to induce fractures via trauma are large. …
