Summary
Degenerative spinal disease commonly causes leg pain due to disc degeneration, leading to herniation and spinal canal narrowing. This review details radicular syndromes, pseudoradicular syndromes, and neurogenic claudication, including postoperative issues and treatments.
Area of Science:
- Orthopedics
- Neurology
- Radiology
Context:
- Spinal degenerative disease is a prevalent cause of leg pain.
- Disc degeneration initiates a cascade of spinal pathologies.
- Clinical manifestations include radicular syndrome, pseudoradicular syndrome, and neurogenic claudication.
Purpose:
- To review the anatomy and pathogenesis of degenerative spinal disease.
- To present the clinical signs and symptoms of associated syndromes.
- To discuss postoperative lumbosciatica and therapeutic options.
Summary:
- Degenerative spinal disease, stemming from disc degeneration, causes herniation, spinal canal stenosis, and instability.
- Clinical presentations encompass radicular and pseudoradicular syndromes, alongside neurogenic claudication.
- The review covers postoperative complications like recurrent disc herniation and spondylodiscitis, concluding with treatment strategies.
Impact:
- Provides a comprehensive overview of degenerative spinal disease and its clinical implications.
- Aids in understanding the pathogenesis, symptoms, and diagnostic characteristics of spinal disorders.
- Offers insights into managing postoperative complications and therapeutic interventions for leg pain originating from the spine.
