Among 2755 patients operated on for nerve-root compression there were 38 children and juveniles (aged 11-22 years). Average interval between onset of symptoms and operation was 14 1/2 months and often involved considerable diagnostic effort. 36 of the 38 patients were re-examined an average of 11 years after operation: 15 were free of symptoms, 18 had occasional mild symptoms, two had continuous mild pain and one had occasional severe pain. Re-operation was necessary in six. All patients are able to work. A connection between an accident and the herniation was demonstrated in only two instances.
在2755例因神经根受压接受手术的患者中，有38名儿童和青少年（年龄在11至22岁之间）。症状出现至手术的平均间隔时间为14.5个月，且常常需要进行大量的诊断工作。38例患者中有36例在术后平均11年接受了复查：15例无症状，18例偶尔有轻微症状，2例有持续的轻度疼痛，1例偶尔有严重疼痛。6例需要再次手术。所有患者都能够工作。仅在两例中证实了事故与椎间盘突出之间的关联。
