Radiculopathy associated with disc herniation.
HAS THERE BEEN PROGRESS IN THE PHYSIOPATHOLOGY OF DISC HERNIATION ASSOCIATED RADICULOPATHY? Since 1934, when a link was demonstrated between disc herniation and sciatica, it has been accepted that compression of the nerve root by disc herniation explained the sciatica. Surgical treatment therefore became standard when medical treatment failed. It now seems that ‘‘chemical’’ factors have a centr...

متن کاملPhysical examination for lumbar radiculopathy due to disc herniation in patients with low-back pain.
BACKGROUND Low-back pain with leg pain (sciatica) may be caused by a herniated intervertebral disc exerting pressure on the nerve root. Most patients will respond to conservative treatment, but in carefully selected patients, surgical discectomy may provide faster relief of symptoms. Primary care clinicians use patient history and physical examination to evaluate the likelihood of disc herniati...
متن کاملPeople with lumbar disc herniation and associated radiculopathy benefit more from microdiscectomy than advice in the short term, although there is no difference in the long term.
Lumbar intervertebral disc herniation with radiculopathy (LDHR) is one of the most common clinical entities seen by spine practitioners. Good clinical outcomes have been reported for both surgical and non-operative treatment of lumbar disc herniation with radiculopathy. In the absence of cauda equina syndrome, initial treatment is nonoperative, with approximately 50–60% of patients reporting sa...
متن کاملLumbar disc herniation with contralateral radiculopathy: do we neglect the epidural fat?
Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is the most common cause of radiculopathy, whose pathological entity underlying nerve root compression is usually on the same side as the symptoms. However, LDH causing contralateral radiculopathy are sometimes encountered by pain physicians. There have been tremendous developments in the treatment options for LDH; the situation of LDH causing contralateral radiculo...
