Abstract
Concept
Slipped disc is the exit of the nucleus pulposus material through the broken fibrous annulus.
Epidemiology
Along with lumbar disc, cervical disc is one of the most frequent neurosurgical diseases today, probably due to the new habits of modern, more sedentary civilization. The loss of muscle component weakens the complex structure of the spine. Added to this is the attitude maintained, in our usual work position, of the sitting position, inclined slightly forward and with the head bent, which causes an even greater load to be placed on the intervertebral discs than if we are in an upright position. And, to top it off, in an extemporaneous and irregular way, we submit an unusual effort to the column (exercises or sports not well controlled, efforts at work or at home, etc.).
