Table 2: Histological data for patients with lumbar intervertebral disc prolapse or lumbar osteochondrosis.


The table shows the histological data for disc prolapse and osteochondrosis patients. Prolapse patients showed more chondrocyte formations than chondrosis patients. Both groups had similar grading of degeneration and scar formation/granulation. P-value (Chi-Square Likelihood quotient) is stated for differences between prolapse and chondrosis patients.
