Herniated intervertebral disk: a plea for a more uniform terminology.
In the original description of herniated intervertebral disk by Mixter and Barr [1), the term used was rupture of the inter-vertebral disk. However, with the passage of time, this term, although used frequently by surgeons, has become meaningless. A rupture of the disk is a common finding at autopsy when the disks are examined, but ruptures are not necessarily associated with herniation of the ...
متن کاملBulging lumbar intervertebral disk: myelographic differentiation from herniated disk with nerve root compression.
Deformities of the margins of the contrast material-filled lumbar thecal sac are common findings at myelography in patients with low back pain, but not all such deformities are due to herniated disks. Differentiation at Amipaque myelography between a diffusely bulging disk (unlikely to cause nerve root compression) and a herniated disk (which typically causes nerve root compression) is based on...

متن کاملEffect of spinal decompression on the lumbar muscle activity and disk height in patients with herniated intervertebral disk
[Purpose] This study was conducted to clarify the difference in therapeutic effects between traction and decompression therapies, and their clinical therapeutic significance. [Subjects and Methods] The subjects were 31 patients aged 35 to 50 years who had unilateral or bilateral lumbar and radicular leg pain. An intervention program was implemented in 31 patients with lumbar herniated intervert...
متن کاملProtrusion of the posterior longitudinal ligament simulating herniated lumbar intervertebral disc.
The most common cause of lumbar or sacral nerve-root compression probably is herniation of the nucleus pulposus. There are some patients with typical clinical-and even radiological-evidence of ne'rVe root compression, however, in whom no herniation is found at operation; instead the nerve root is compressed by a fold in the posterior longitudinal ligament, and, when this is excised, there is
