  Background: The lumbar spine and pelvis can be aligned in a variety of different ways. It has been demonstrated that certain lumbar morphological characteristics can affect the likelihood of developing speci ic illnesses, such as Lumbar Disc Herniation (LDH) or spondylolysis. This study's main objective was to look at the sagittal pro iles of young individuals having lumbar disc herniation surgery. Checking if a straightforward discectomy altered the sagittal features following surgery was a secondary objective. Methods: The study comprised 16 young patients with lumbar disc herniation surgery (mean age 18.3 and 3.2 SD). Erect sagittal radiographs of the entire spine were taken prior to surgery. According to Roussouly, two experienced spinal surgeons classi ied the sagittal features. Additionally, a whole spine erect radiograph .. Read More»
