Genetic risk factors for lumbar disc disease.

Annals of medicine - 1 Jan 2002

Ala-Kokko Leena

Abstract excerpt

Lumbar disc disease (LDD) is a common musculoskeletal disease affecting about 5% of all individuals. It is characterized by lumbar disc herniation, which causes nerve root irritation, either mechanically or via inflammatory mediators, and results in radiating pain, known as sciatica. Numerous studies have been conducted to identify the causes and risk factors for LDD. Lifting heavy loads, torsional stress and...
