Lumbar Disc Hernia Secondary to Gunshot Injury

Abstract The authors present a case of injury to the 4th lumbar root secondary to a gunshot wound. The lesion was not directly related to the traumatic action of the projectile, but was caused by the compressive action of disc material forced into the vertebral canal as a result of the destructive effects of a 7.65 caliber bullet.

Lumbar Disc Hernia

Objective: To establish any changes up to the second postoperative month in pain, disability, performance, kinesiophobia, and lower extremity motor coordination of patients operated on for lumbar disc hernia. Methods: Forty-five patients with lumbar disc hernia were included in the study preoperatively, and were followed up until the second postoperative month. Pain and disability, walking and stair-climbing performances, and kinesiophobia were measured; and motor coordination tests were practiced with the Lower Extremity MOtor COordination Test (LEMOCOT). Results: The worst scores of pain, disability, performance, kinesiophobia, and LEMOCOT measurements were in the preoperative period; while the best ones were observed in the 2 months following the surgery. Conclusion: The measurements of pain, disability, performance, kinesiophobia, and lower extremity coordination usually performed in the cases operated on with a diagnosis of lumbar disc hernia are significantly affected from the initial period until the second postoperative month.

Lumbar disc herniation was treated by percutaneous discectomy using a new instrument for automatic aspiration and cutting of disc material. The inclusion criteria were limited to patients with pure disc herniation without stenosis or any other additional factors. Only contained hernias with a maximum size of 50% of the thecal sac were included. Three procedures out of 45 were technical failures. At 1-year follow-up 69% of the patients were satisfied. No complications were seen. The result was not influenced by the amount of disc material removed, age, duration of symptoms or the size of the disc hernia. Reduced size of disc hernia was found in 13 out of 14 satisfied patients followed by CT. All unsatisfied patients were conventionally operated on. The percutaneous treated patients had 1 day of hospitalisation and on average 11 weeks of sick-leave compared to an average of 6 days and 16 weeks following conventional discectomy.
