Back Pain Lower Back Chronic Clinical Trial
Official title:
Discectomy for Lumbar Active Discopathy: Long Term Functional Outcome Comparison Between Anterior and Posterior Approach: A Retrospective Study
The study aims to study the impact on different surgical approaches for lumbar active
discopathy. This inflammatory disease of the disc and adjacent vertebral endplates can induce
low back pain with inflammatory-like features. Lumbar fusion is proposed to the patient when
conservative management is not enough. This fusion can be obtained by an anterior muscle
sparring approach or by a posterior muscle decaying approach.
The goal with this single center retrospective study is to identify the surgical approach
that offers to the patient the better long term functional outcome. A phone call would allow
us to ask patients a few questions:
- Mcnab's criteria
- Roland Morris Disability Questionnaire
The patients medical file review would also allow us to identify:
- the length of hospital stay for the discectomy (in days)
- incidence of Failed Back Surgery Syndrome
- incidence of redo surgeries
- incidence of adjacent level diseases
- incidence of dural tears and eventual complications (meningitis, orthostatic
headaches,...)
- incidence of iliac vessels injuries and eventual complications (thrombosis, need for
revascularisation,...)
1) The Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire
When your back hurts, you may find it difficult to do some of the things you normally do.
This list contains sentences that people have used to describe themselves when they have back
pain. When you read them, you may find that some stand out because they describe you today.
As you read the list, think of yourself today. When you read a sentence that describes you
today, put a tick against it. If the sentence does not describe you, then leave the space
blank and go on to the next one. Remember, only tick the sentence if you are sure it
describes you today.

Note to users:
This questionnaire is taken from: Roland MO, Morris RW. A study of the natural history of
back pain. Part 1: Development of a reliable and sensitive measure of disability in low back
pain. Spine 1983; 8: 141-144
The score of the RDQ is the total number of items checked - i.e. from a minimum of 0 to a
maximum of 24.
It is acceptable to add boxes to indicate where patients should tick each item.
The questionnaire may be adapted for use on-line or by telephone.
