[Clinical aspects, surgical treatment and prognosis of lumbar intervertebral disk displacement in childhood].
This paper reports on 11 girls and 3 boys aged from 12 to 16 who, having suffered prolapses of lumbar discs, underwent surgery and were followed up between 18 and 87 months postoperatively. These 14 patients represent 0.25% of those who have undergone disc surgery in the authors' clinic over the last 11 years. Clinical peculiarities are pointed out and, in the light of the positive results (13 patients completely free of complaints) the prognosis is deemed to be very favourable; surgical treatment is therefore recommended of conservative therapy fails.
