We studied 18 patients who had undergone surgery for herniated lumbar discs between the ages of 11 and 17 years. The inclusion criteria for girls was an age of 15 years or below and for boys 17 or below at surgery. The mean follow-up time was 10 years and the clinical outcome was good. Age at surgery and length of the follow-up had no effect on the result. The radiological disc height at follow-up did not correlate with the follow-up time or age of the patient at operation. MRI scans at follow-up from ten patients operated at less than 15 years of age revealed multilevel disc degeneration but favourable clinical results.
我们研究了18例年龄在11至17岁之间接受过腰椎间盘突出症手术的患者。女孩的纳入标准是手术时年龄在15岁及以下,男孩在17岁及以下。平均随访时间为10年,临床结果良好。手术时的年龄和随访时间对结果没有影响。随访时的影像学椎间盘高度与随访时间或患者手术时的年龄无关。对10例15岁以下接受手术患者的随访MRI扫描显示存在多节段椎间盘退变,但临床结果良好。
