The rate of surgery needing lumbar hernia is about 1-2%. Lumbar disc hernia in children and teenagers has 4 main causes: familial history, trauma, congenital malformation of the spine and disc degeneration. The symptoms in young patients are dominated by local or ischiadic irradiated pain, but neurological discrepancies rarely occur.
