Association Between Histological Composition and Clinical Symptoms in Lumbar Disk Herniation in Different Age Groups
Avulsion-type herniations in patients aged below 50 years had a higher CE occupancy rate, which is a potential cause of preoperative motor weakness. Clinical outcomes following discectomy improved regardless of the presence of CEs; however, cartilaginous herniation in patients aged 50 years or above may affect residual LBP at one year.
