Lumbar annulus fibrosus generally refers to the annulus fibrosus of the lumbar intervertebral discs, and once ruptured, most of the lumbar annulus fibrosus is irreversible and unlikely to recover on its own. The nucleus pulposus is contained in the annulus fibrosus of the lumbar intervertebral disc, and once the annulus fibrosus is ruptured, the nucleus pulposus will protrude or prolapse, resulting in the common clinical condition of lumbar disc herniation. Generally speaking, if the lumbar MRI is done in the early stage, it is possible to find out whether the lumbar intervertebral disc has a reduced nutritional status, so the rupture of the lumbar annulus fibrosus can be predicted in advance. If the lumbar intervertebral discs show a dehydrated state in the magnetic resonance imaging, it is often determined that the lumbar intervertebral discs may have the possibility of rupture. In most cases, it is necessary to reduce the amount of stress on the lumbar region and reduce bending and strenuous work. In addition, oral medications that nourish the cartilage, such as dextrose sulfate, can enhance the nutritional status of the lumbar discs and shorten the duration of herniated discs.
