STUDY DESIGN Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial observational and randomized cohort participants with a confirmed diagnosis of intervertebral disc herniation (IDH) who received either usual nonoperative care and/or standard open discectomy were followed from baseline at 6 weeks, 3, 6, 12, and 24 months at 13 spine clinics in 11 US states. OBJECTIVE To evaluate the cost-effectiveness of sur...

BACKGROUND The purpose of the present study was to determine if the duration of symptoms affects outcomes following the treatment of intervertebral lumbar disc herniation. METHODS An as-treated analysis was performed on patients enrolled in the Spine Patient Outcomes Research Trial (SPORT) for the treatment of intervertebral lumbar disc herniation. Randomized and observational cohorts were co...

[Purpose] The purpose of this study was to provide the data for constructing an integrated exercise program to help restore muscle strength and stability through extension strength exercise in adult females with lumbar disc herniation. [Subjects and Methods] An 8-week exercise program for lumbar muscle extension strength and stabilization was performed by 26 females older than 20 with lumbar di...

SUMMARY OF BACKGROUND DATA The association between the facet tropism and the development of lumbar disc herniation has been studied; however the results remain controversial. OBJECTIVE To determine the association between the facet tropism and the development of lumbar disc herniation. STUDY DESIGN A cross-sectional study. MATERIAL AND METHOD MRI of 34 patients with lumbar disc herniation...

BACKGROUND There have been few studies focusing on the curve pattern of scoliosis caused by lumbar disc herniation (LDH) in adolescents and the natural history of scoliosis after discectomy. The current study was carried out to identify the curve pattern of scoliosis and investigate the effect of posterior discectomy on the curve improvement in adolescents with LDH. METHODS This review focuse...

The purpose of this study is to identify some risk factors and post-operative predictors for recurrent lumbar disc hernia (rLDH) during a long-term follow-up in patients treated with microdiscectomy. Aim the paper: This analyzes postoperative Material methods. We analyzed retrospectively consecutive series who underwent spinal microdiscectomy herniation (LDH) from January 2013 June 2018 at our ...

STUDY DESIGN The expression of cyclooxygenase-2 was studied immunohistologically in specimens from lumbar disc herniation. The cultured disc cells also were examined to evaluate the significance of cyclooxygenase-2, which might be involved in the pathogenesis of lumbar disc herniation. OBJECTIVE To investigate whether cyclooxygenase-2 might be involved in the pathogenesis of lumbar disc herni...

Degeneration of the lumbar intervertebral discs is a leading cause of chronic low back pain in adults. Treatment options for patients with chronic lumbar discogenic pain unresponsive to conservative management include total disc replacement (TDR) or lumbar fusion. Until recently, only two lumbar TDRs had been approved by the US Food and Drug Administration - the Charité Artificial Disc in 2004 ...

Petit's lumbar hernia is an uncommon defect of the posterior abdominal wall that represents less than 1% of all abdominal wall hernias. It is more often unilateral and founded in young females, rarely containing a real herniated sac. There are two different approaches to repair: laparoscopy and open surgery. The goal of this article is to report one case of spontaneous bilateral lumbar Petit's ...
