Abstract:
Objective To analize the relationship of imaging findings of lumbar disc herniation with the clinical efficacy after percutaneous lumbar diskectomy (PLD). Methods 52 patients were undergone PLD, includinog 40 cases of disk confined protrusion, 4 with calcification of posterior edge of the disc and posterior longitudinal ligament, 3 severe degeneration, 2 shown narrowing of the intervertebral space, 2 mild herniation and 1 obvious herniation. Results The total effective rate reached 84.6%, including markedly improved 50.0%, moderately improved 34.6% and no change in 15.4%. No complication occurred. Conclusions PLD is an efficient, safety method to treat the protrusion of lumbar intervertebral disc. Imaging is helpful for exploring the indication and evaluating efficacy of PLD.
