Annuloplasty is a generic description for repair of the outer wall of the disc which can be damaged from trauma or degeneration. IDET is one potential approach, but there are a number of other modalities today that may potentially repair the outer wall of the disc. Some physicians have experimented with the use of PRP injections and others are working with the injection of natural sealants to repair the outer wall of the disc. Annuloplasty does not address the increased pressure within the disc, which can result in a disc herniation or re-tearing of the disc wall.
