[28] [29] This inflammatory molecule, called tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF), is released not only by the herniated or protruding disc, but also in cases of disc tear (annular tear), by facet joints, and in spinal stenosis. [24] [30] [31] [32] In addition to causing pain and inflammation, TNF may also contribute to disc degeneration. [33]
IDET (Intradiscal Electrothermal Annuloplasty) [1] is a recently developed minimally invasive form of annuloplasty consisting of the insertion of a hollow needle into the affected disc. Through this needle, a heating wire is passed. Once the wire has reached the disc, it is heated to 90 °C for approximately fifteen minutes.

This procedure restores normal intracranial CSF volume and pressure while promoting the healing of dural tears by lowering the pressure and volume in the dura. [83] [85] This procedure has led to positive results leading to relief of symptoms for up to one year. [83] [84]
For instance, someone may make a jump from a height and tear the ligament when they land incorrectly. "Their foot can collapse, and that requires surgical intervention to reconstruct," Hartzell ...
