Epidurography in reduction of lumbar disc prolapse by traction.
As epidurography uses a water-soluble contrast medium in the diagnosis of disc lesions, this procedure can be repeated, unlike conventional myelography which uses an oily contrast medium. Successful employment of epidurography before and after traction in 14 cases of adult prolapsed intervertebral disc syndrome is described.
