Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate patient-reported outcomes (PROs) following lumbar discectomy on patients with lateral lumbar disc herniation (LDH) compared to patients with paramedian LDH.
Background: Surgery for disc herniation is one of the most common procedures of the lumbar spine. LDHs can be divided into median, paramedian, foraminal and extraforaminal types based on the anatomical site of the lesion.
Purpose: To characterize the type, content, and results of care interventions that support spine surgery patients in their early post-discharge recovery.
Methods: This systematic review was conducted according to PRISMA guidelines. The literature search was conducted in March 2022 (updated in May 2023) in MEDLINE (Ovid), EMBASE (Ovid), CINAHL (Ebsco), PsycINFO (Ovid), and Scopus.
Background: One in three women and one in five men over the age of 50 will experience an osteoporotic fracture. Vertebral fractures can be very painful, affect patients' daily function, and in severe cases require hospitalization. Traditionally, fracture pain is treated conservatively with analgesics, and bracing.
