Determination of the anatomic factors that affect the pain values in LDH diagnosed patients

LDH did not always coexist with spinal stenosis and by selecting only patient with L4-L5 LDH level we put forward that anatomic structures surrounding the disc heniation were not affected by the intervetebral disc (IVD) degeneration. Specially the herniation length is significant than the herniation width due to the risk of the dural sac remaining under central pressure depending on the length of increase of IVD. These findings also disclose the reason for the rise in the VAS value in LDH patients.
