| Abstract |
To determine if the mechanical properties of the annulus fibrosus (AF) are altered following end-plate fracture. Vertebral fractures, particularly those in the growth plate, are relatively common among adolescents. What is unclear is whether or not these fractures are also associated with concomitant damage to the intervertebral disc (IVD), in particular the AF. The current study employed a high-rate IVD pressurization model to create growth plate fractures in the porcine cervical spine. Posterior AF mechanical properties and laminate adhesion strength were quantified in fractured spines and compared to samples obtained from non-pressurized, un-fractured spines. AF laminate adhesion strength was 31% lower in the fractured spines compared to the un-fractured spines. This decrease in laminate adhesion strength suggests that growth plate fracture damage is not isolated to the vertebra and results in microdamage to the interlamellar matrix of the AF. This may increase in the risk of progressive delamination of the AF, which is associated with IVD herniation. These slides can be retrieved under Electronic Supplementary Material. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 01 August 2018.
All research outputs
#18,645,475
of 23,098,660 outputs
Outputs from European Spine Journal
#2,509
of 4,687 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#330,331
of 442,276 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Spine Journal
#37
of 56 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,098,660 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 4,687 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one is in the 20th percentile – i.e., 20% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 442,276 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 14th percentile – i.e., 14% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 56 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
