Recent research reveals new causes and treatments for lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Advances include improved imaging, novel injections like platelet-rich plasma, and successful minimally invasive endoscopic surgery for LDH.

Area of Science:

  • Spine Surgery
  • Orthopedics
  • Neurosurgery

Background:

  • Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a significant cause of back pain.
  • Recent literature highlights advancements in understanding LDH's origins and management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current evidence on lumbar disc herniation.
  • To highlight emerging concepts in LDH diagnosis and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of recent studies on lumbar disc herniation.
  • Analysis of novel etiologies, diagnostic tools, and treatment modalities.

Main Results:

  • New etiologies identified, including inflammatory and infectious factors.
  • Improved diagnostic accuracy with enhanced computer tomography.

  • Novel treatments include tumor necrosis alpha inhibitors and platelet-rich plasma injections.
  • Minimally invasive endoscopic surgery shows promising 5-year outcomes.

    • Conclusions:

    • Molecular advances in LDH etiology will drive future treatments.
    • Endoscopic treatment for LDH is evolving and gaining popularity.
    • Long-term (10-year) outcome data is needed for endoscopic approaches.
