Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Disc prolapse amounts for 5% of lower back disorders. Intervertebral disc prolapse can be treated conservatively or surgically.

 The intervertebral disc is subject to continuous and  progressive degenerative changes throughout life, L3,L4,L5 showing greatest degree of degeneration.
