    Abstract:

    In a study of matched pairs of patients with a single ruptured disc, exploration of an additional lumbar interspace did not increase the morbidity of surgery. The author believes that the desire to avoid additional surgery does not, by itself, justify routine myelography.

    Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

    Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...
