The surgical approach to thoracic intervertebral disc protrusions.
A number of writers have drawn attention to the disappointing results of operation in cases of posterior thoracic intervertebral disc protrusions. Logue (1952) in a review of 11 cases reported total functional transection of the cord following laminectomy in five patients, all of whom were seriously disabled pre-operatively. Others have had comparable experiences, exemplified also by the first ...

Twenty-two patients from the National Hospital for Nervous Diseases, Queen Square, and Atkinson Morley's Hospital have been reviewed. Their clinical presentation is discussed and the ancillary aids to diagnosi...
