<p>There are many errors found in the content of textbook in National Higher Education.For example:One of the errors found in the“Surgery”version no 418 is about movement system disease section.In chapter 677 Section III,the content misinterpretation of the cause of low back pain is the intervertebral disc protrusion that stimulate the outer annulus and the posterior longitudinal ligament in the sinus nerve fibers.For the past twenty years,feedbacks had been reflected repeatedly to the involved party but no one had admitted the contents of the textbook are wrong.The errors had brought great economy loss,physical and mental pain to patients.Every year,the country has to spend billions of dollars in the waste of medical reform reimbursement.This article is aimed to discuss about low back pain is not due to lumbar disc herniation.</p>

Abstract Fifty patients presenting with a suspected herniated lumbar intervertebral disc were evaluated with sector computed tomography (CT). Excluded from this series were patients with prior lumbar laminectomy or a clinical diagnosis of lumbar canal stenosis. Forty-six of the patients also underwent preoperative lumbar myelography. All patients subsequently underwent laminectomy. In 40 patients (80%), CT was positive. In the remaining 10 patients (20%), it was negative; in this group the myelogram correctly predicted the lesion in 8 (80%), Sector CT correctly predicted the nature of the lesion in 24 patients (48%), was incorrect in 14 (28%), and gave incomplete findings in 12 (24%). CT was most accurate when it demonstrated a disc protrusion as the only finding. In this group, sector CT correctly predicted the operative findings in 24 of 25 patients (96%). CT was less accurate when spondylitic compression was diagnosed. This study suggests that sector CT is a useful test in the evaluation of patients with sciatica and that, when a soft herniated disc is demonstrated on CT, myelography may be omitted.
