87 adolescents with lumbar disc prolapse treated from 1978 to 1985 were reviewed. The clinical pattern was different from that usually seen in adults, as 41 patients had no leg pain; and signs of neurologic deficit were often absent. Nonoperative treatment was successful in 57/61 patients, and 26 patients underwent discectomy with eventual return to full activity in 23 patients.Downloads
