## Abstract Patients with severe back pain, attributed to a herniation of the nucleus pulposus of the intervertebral disc, can benefit from a replacement of only the nucleus pulposus, provided the annulus fibrosus is still functional. This study investigated four intrinsically radiopaque hydrogel b
