ETIOLOGY
Page 12
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
PATHOPHYSIOLOGY OF LUMBAR INTERVERTEBRAL DISC PROLAPSE
With aging, vascular channels start to fail and vascular diffusion of nutrients decrease thus number of viable
chondrocytes in the nucleus pulposus diminishes
!Synthesis rate & concentration of
proteoglycans decreases & proportion of collagen increase in nucleus pulposus
!Water binding capacity of the
nucleus decreases
!Nucleus becomes more fibrous & stiffer
!Nucleus is less able to bear & disburse load, transferring load to the posterior annulus
Page 13
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
!Extruded disc &
degraded nuclear material impinge on
the nerve roots
Nucleus pulposus is an immunogenic which induce an inflammatory response
Produces radicular pain syndrome & RADICULOPATHY
Page 14
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
EFFECT OF SMOKINGBlood vessel get
constricted
Transport of nutrients & disposal of waste products decreased
Disc cells get deficient nutrition or
die
Disc degenerates & results in DISC INSTABILITY

HIVD
• Paracentral herniation is the most common pattern and compress the lower existing nerve nerve root
• Extraforaminal herniation is more likely compress the upper nerve root
• The tumor necrosis factor-α may be a key factor of the pain process
• The effects of mechanical deformation are compounded by chemical sensitization of nerve root
• The inflammatory factors around the nerve root and dorsal root ganglion includes IL-1, IL-6, PGE-2 and phospholipase A2
• These factors incites vascular changes around nerve root and direct effect on the blood-nerve barrier, promoting intraneural edema and reducing neuronal perfusion
Page 30
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
• 95% involves L3-4 or L4-5 • Most patients are between the ages of 20 and 50 years • In lumbar disc herniation, SLRT is sensitive and
specific • The crossed straight leg raising test has a lower
sensitivity, but much higher specificity • Nonsurgical treatments result in good resolution of
symptoms in up to 80-90% patients • The surgical results are better in smaller disc
herniation • Large extrusive disc herniation has greater likelihood
of total resorption
Page 31
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
• The likely of recovery of neurologic deficit is dependent of surgical intervention
• Patients with painless neurologic deficit still require surgery • Patients with painless neurologic deficit require surgery only
when functional weakness in a major muscle group and no return of function after 6 weeks
• The sensory nerve fibers are affected first and recover last • Recurrent HIVD at the same level: 5% at 5-years F/U • HIVD in elder patient commonly combined with spinal stenosis
or spondylolisthesis and more frequent in the upper lumbar levels. Spontaneous resorption and improvement is less likely
• Neurologic deficit in young patients with HIVD is common and the herniation is frequently an avulsed ring apophysis
• Foraminal epidural steroid injections may help in combating the chemical mediators of pain and inflammation associated with disc herniation
• A positive nerve block response indicated by a reduction of leg pain by more than 50%
Page 32

Lumbar Disc HerniationPathophysiology
• TNF-α: sensitizing the nerve root after mechanical deforming force.
• Inflammatory cytokines in the nerve root and dorsal root ganglion
• Promoting intraneural edema and reducing neuronal perfusion

Lumbar Disc Herniation
• Disc Herniation in the Elderly – Spinal stenosis, spondylolisthesis – Upper lumbar spine – SLRT commonly negative – Chronic fibrosis of the roots – Spontaneous improvement is less likely
• Disc Herniation in Young Patients – 1% to 3% of all HIVD – Herniation: an avulsed apophysis

Lumbar Disc HerniationManagement
• Conservative treatment – Alters the natural history ?
• Foraminal epidural steroid injection – Positive response: more than 50% leg pain improvement – 3 to 4 times in one year
• Absolute indication for surgery – Bladder and bowel symptoms – Progressive neurologic deficit
• Relative indication for surgery – Intractable pain more than 6 weeks
• Three sciatica episodes -> 100% future episodes • Gold standard: laminotomy + discectomy • Extraforaminal disc: Wiltse paraspinal approach
Page 57
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
Nonsurgical Rx
• Bed Rest (80% resolution within 6 weeks), herniated disc reduced in size over time ( water content loss, inflammatory cytokines reduction)
• Medication • Activity modification • Steroid injection => improved symptoms • Chymopapain –Possible anaphylatic shock Lyman

What Is Muscle-Balance Therapy?!
Muscle-Balance Therapy is an innovative approach to
eliminating back pain (and just about any other ailment) by addressing the imbalances in
your muscles.!
The Muscle-Balance Therapy approach begins by assessing the strength and flexibility of your
muscle pairs—in your hips, pelvis, spine, and throughout the body.!
Page 67
www.drsandeepagrawal.com AGRASEN HOSPITAL DR SANDEEP AGRAWAL GONDIA www.agrasenortho.com
What Is Inversion Therapy?!
As the name states, inversion therapy actually “inverts” the body to an upside-down position.!
Imagine a balloon, for instance, one of those long ones that can be twisted into different shapes to make balloon animals. If you were to squish one side with your fist, all the air in the balloon would form a bulge at the other side. Keep pressing and eventually you could force the other end of the balloon to burst.!
Discs operate much the same way. As muscle imbalances— and gravity—apply uneven pressure on a disc, the disc bulges to one side. This is what happens in the case of a herniated disc.!
How Does Inversion Therapy Help?!
Inversion therapy literally reverses the compression caused by gravity—and in part, muscle imbalances. In essence, it reverses the pressure on the spine that is a result of gravity and muscle imbalances. Instead of compressing your discs and making you shorter, inversion therapy—by allowing you to hang upside down—actually stretches the spine out, as well as the muscles supporting the spine and torso, giving the discs room to reabsorb fluids and move back into their proper positions—eliminating pressure on nearby nerves.!

Recurrent disc herniation
• Less favorable nonsurgical treatment
• Predominant leg pain – revision discectomy

FAILED BACK SYNDROME
It is a condition characterized by persistent postoperative backache and sciatica.
VERY COMMON CAUSES • Recurrent/ Persistent disc material at
operated site • Herniated Nucleus Pulposus at other
site • Epidural scar / Fibrosis • Facet arthrosis / Spinal stenosis

Key point of lumbar HIVD
• HIVD can be categorized as prolapsed, extruded, or sequestered. MRI is the best image tool for Dx.
• About 80% symptomatic lumbar herniation can be treated by nonoperatively.
• If a disc causes significant neurologic deficit or remitting, profound pain, surgery may be indicated (esp. in adolescent.)
