Intervertebarl disc: Tests of the tensile strength of various portions of two intervertebral discs revealed that the tensile strength ranged from 0 to 700 pounds per square inch. In general, the weakest areas in both discs were the central and lateral portions. The tensile strength of three specimens of ligamentum flavum ranged from 226 to 373 pounds per square inch.
