Abstract
Study Design
The present study retrospectively investigated the morphologic changes that occurred during conservative treatment of patients with unilateral leg pain resulting from herniated nucleus pulposus without significant lumbar canal stenosis.
Objectives
The results were correlated with clinical outcomes and extruding forms to determine which type of herniated nucleus pulposus had the greatest capacity for spontaneous regression and how rapidly such regression might occur.
