Abstract
The present invention relates to a minimally-invasive method for restoring a damaged or degenerated intevertebral disc at an early stage. The method comprises the step of administering an injectable in situ setting formulation in the nucleus pulposus of the damaged or degenerated disc of the patient. The formulation once injected combines with nucleus matters and host cells, and becomes viscous or gels in situ within the annulus fibrosus of the disc for increasing the thickness and volume of the damaged or degenerated disc. The formulation is retained within the disc for providing restoration of the damaged or degenerated disc.
