✓ Forty-three cases of surgically treated lumbar disc protrusion in patients 21 years or younger are analyzed. The results were generally good. Ten percent of the patients required reoperation within 3 years. No major complications were experienced. Follow-up observation ranged from 4 to 30 years. Disc protrusion should be considered in the differential diagnosis of children with back and sciatic pain, and early myelography should be carried out in the refractory case. The symptoms, signs, myelograms, and surgical findings are usually similar to those of the adult patient with a disc protrusion.

<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 Background: Disc degenerative diseases are common in occupational aviators exposed to long flight time and vibration during flight. The incidence of pathological and degenerative changes of spine in experienced pilots are widely studied and reported. However, few literatures focused on new graduate aviators. In this study we intended to describe imaging features of spine in new graduate aviators from flight academy and analyzed the risk factors for spinal pain.Methods: This is a retrospective study of 178 new graduate aviators. All received full-length lateral X-ray of spine and 1.5T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of cervical and lumbar spine. Sagittal alignments were measured through X-ray imaging. The degenerative grade of disc was defined according to Miyazaki and Pfirrmann grading classifications. The prevalence of degenerative disc diseases was reported under disc nomenclatures. The incidence of spinal pain during the last 12 months of flight training was acquired from questionnaires. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was utilized to analyses risk factors for spinal pain.Results: The whole cohort presented at least one level disc degeneration of Grade 2 in cervical or lumbar spine. 134 of 178 subjects (75.3%) showed at least one cervical disc degeneration in grade 3. 61 (34.3%) presented cervical disc bulging and 5 (3%) presented cervical disc protrusion. 110 (61.8%) aviators reported neck pain during the last 12 months. 53 of 178 (29.8%) volunteers had at least one lumbar disc degeneration in grade 3. 31 (17.4%) aviators presented lumbar disc bulging and 21 (11.8%) presented lumbar disc protrusion. 45 (25.3%) aviators reported back pain during the last 12 months. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed age, cervical disc degeneration and bulging were risk factors for neck pain; lumbar disc degeneration, bulging and protrusion were risk factors for back pain. Conclusions: Moderate degrees of disc degenerative changes and diseases of spine could be found in new graduate aviators at an early age. Disc degeneration and diseases correlate strongly with spinal pain. It is essential to recognize these pathological conditions to intervene in the occurrence and development of degenerative changes in aviators in advance.
