Abstract The goal of this study was to investigate the association of body composition components and to elucidate whether any of these components is a risk factor for Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH). The group of study consisted of 90 adults involved in a physical activity program due to overweight and obesity. 19 adults with medical diagnostic through Magnetic Resonance Imaging with LDH. Body composition data was obtained with a bioelectrical impedance analyzer. Descriptive statistics and principal components analysis permitted to analyze the information's structure and to visualize information clusters. A logistic regression analysis allowed us to find the association between some of the variables of body composition with LDH. The Degree of Obesity, Body Mass Index, Visceral Fat Area and the Abdominal Circumference resulted associated (P values of 0.0388, 0.0171, 0.0055 and 0.0032, respectively). The application of Odd Ratio allowed us to declare the Visceral Fat Area and Abdominal Circumference as risk factors to develop Lumbar Disk Herniation. Our results provide a new record for future studies, and support for prescription of physical activity and changes in diet, to correct or prevent the development of LDH in the population of Baja California.

Background. Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a disorder that involves rupture of the annulus fibrosus so that the nucleus pulposus protrudes and compresses the lumbar canal. LDH is the most common cause of lumbar radiculopathy. LDH causes functional disorders in patients, causing disability to carry out daily activities. The purpose of this study was to determine the risk factors that influence the degree of disability in lumbar nucleus pulposus herniation. Methods. Analytical research with a consecutive cross-sectional study approach in patients with lumbar LDH at the Neurology Outpatient Clinic, Dr. M. Djamil General Hospital Padang from March to November 2021. The risk factors assessed were age, gender, occupation, length of illness, and body mass index (BMI). The measurement of the degree of disability uses the Oswestry disability index (ODI) score. The relationship between risk factors and the degree of disability was analyzed using chi-square test. Differences in the mean age of groups with mild and moderate degrees of disability using unpaired t-test. Results. 40 subjects met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Mean age 57 ± 10,976 years, male and female ratio 1:2, work with heavy lifting activities was found in 70% of subjects, duration of suffering from LDH more than one year in 60% of subjects. BMI overweight and obesity as many as 77.5% subjects. As many as 60% of the subjects experienced mild to moderate degrees of disability. There is a difference in the average age of the subjects with mild to moderate degree of disability with a severe degree of p-value of 0.044. There was no significant relationship between gender (p=0.054), occupation (p=0.398), length of illness (p=0.503) and body mass index (p=0.757), and the degree of disability. Conclusion. The degree of disability in patients with LDH is influenced by age. Meanwhile, gender, occupation, length of illness and body mass index were not significantly related to the degree of disability in patients.

OBJECT In this study, the authors aimed to identify specific risk factors for postdecompression lumbar disc herniation (PDLDH) in patients who have not undergone discectomy and/or fusion. METHODS Between 2007 and 2012, 493 patients with lumbar spinal stenosis underwent bilateral partial laminectomy without discectomy and/or fusion in a single hospital. Eighteen patients (herniation group [H group]: 15 men, 3 women; mean age 65.1 years) developed acute sciatica as a result of PDLDH within 2 years after surgery. Ninety patients who did not develop postoperative acute sciatica were selected as a control group (C group: 75 men, 15 women; mean age 65.4 years). Patients in the C group were age and sex matched with those in the H group. The patients in the groups were also matched for decompression level, number of decompression levels, and surgery date. The radiographic variables measured included percentage of slippage, intervertebral angle, range of motion, lumbar lordosis, disc height, facet angle, extent of facet removal, facet degeneration, disc degeneration, and vertebral endplate degeneration. The threshold for PDLDH risk factors was evaluated using a continuous numerical variable and receiver operating characteristic curve analysis. The area under the curve was used to determine the diagnostic performance, and values greater than 0.75 were considered to represent good performance. RESULTS Multivariate analysis revealed that preoperative retrolisthesis during extension was the sole significant independent risk factor for PDLDH. The area under the curve for preoperative retrolisthesis during extension was 0.849; the cutoff value was estimated to be a retrolisthesis of 7.2% during extension. CONCLUSIONS The authors observed that bilateral partial laminectomy, performed along with the removal of the posterior support ligament, may not be suitable for lumbar spinal stenosis patients with preoperative retrolisthesis greater than 7.2% during extension.

Recurrent Lumbar Disc Herniation

Study Design: Narrative review. Objectives: To identify the risk factors and surgical management for recurrent lumbar disc herniation using a systematic review of available evidence. Methods: We conducted a review of PubMed, MEDLINE, OVID, and Cochrane Library databases using search terms identifying recurrent lumbar disc herniation and risk factors or surgical management. Abstracts of all identified articles were reviewed. Detailed information from articles with levels I to IV evidence was extracted and synthesized. Results: There is intermediate levels III to IV evidence detailing perioperative risk factors and the optimal surgical technique for recurrent lumbar disc herniations. Conclusions: Multiple risk factors including smoking, diabetes mellitus, obesity, intraoperative technique, and biomechanical factors may contribute to the development of recurrent disc disease. There is widespread variation regarding optimal surgical management for recurrent herniation, which often include revision discectomies with or without fusion via open and minimally invasive techniques.

Intradiscal Injection

Lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a common cause of low back pain (LBP) and/or radicular pain (RP). Over the years, different therapies have been proposed to treat symptomatic LDH, including different minimally invasive techniques and open surgical methods. Recently, percutaneous intradiscal injection of radiopaque gelified ethanol (RGE) DiscoGel® has emerged as an effective therapeutic option in patients with LDH. Nevertheless, only few studies addressed the reliability of this technique. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of this procedure. We analysed surgical and outcome data of patients with small or medium LDH treated by DiscoGel between 2012 to 2015. Outcome variables included pain relief, the limitation on physical activity and severity of depression status. Overall, complication rate was defined as the occurrence of any perioperative adverse events. A total of 94 consecutive patients were enrolled in the study. Pain relief was achieved in 90.6% and 88.8% of patients at 1- and 4-year follow-up, respectively. At the last follow-up, at least a satisfactory result was achieved in 92.5% of patients. Similar results were obtained in the limitation on physical activity. Depression status did not significantly change after treatment. There was no mortality, and no patients experienced permanent sequelae. In well-selected patients, DiscoGel has proved effective in maintaining excellent functional results in terms of pain relief and limitation on physical activity while minimizing the overall rate of complications related to these kinds of surgical procedures.
