Abstract AR
تمت الدراسة على (24) مريضا مصابين بإنزلاق غضروفي قطني تم تشخيصهم سريريا و بفحص الرنين المغناطيسي, و قد أجريت لهم العملية اللازمة لرفع الغضروف و تحرير جذر العصب, و قد بينت الدراسة بأن المرضى الذين يشكون من أعراض المرض في الساق لفترة قصيرة يحصلون على نتائج ممتازة بعد إجراء العملية و على العكس من ذلك اللذين يشكون لفترة طويلة تكون النتائج متوسطة و غير مرضية, لهذا من الممكن أن نستنتج من الدراسة بأن فترة الشكوى من الأعراض في الساق نتيجة الانزلاق الغضروفي أن تعتبر كمؤشر لنتائج العملية الجراحية لرفع الغضروف و تحرير جذر العصب.
