  Background: Lumbar radicular pain may be caused by lumbar disc herniation, spinal stenosis, or degenerative spondylolisthesis. It is most often caused by lumbar disc herniation and presents as pain radiating from the back into the leg, usually in a dermatomal pattern corresponding to the compressed nerve root. In patients whose pain does not respond to epidural steroid injections, other treatment modalities can be considered. Minimally invasive disc decompression procedures have been developed to treat radicular pain caused by disc herniation. The Disc-FX system combines percutaneous manual discectomy using forceps, nuclear ablation, and annular modification using radiofrequency equipment. To our knowledge, no reports of a correlation between response to Disc-FX and type of lumbar disc herniation have been published. The aim of this study was to determine patients&rsq.. Read More»
