Risk factor analysis of persistent low back pain after microdiscectomy: A retrospective study
PLBP after microdiscectomy is a frequent and understudied condition. We found that an L5-S1 disc herniation level, recurrent disc herniation, obesity, modic MRI changes, and facet subluxation were risk factors for PLBP after microdiscectomy. These results can help surgeons in developing a better understanding of lumbar microdiscectomy outcomes.
