Effect of Age and Lordotic Angle on the Level of Lumbar Disc Herniation
Figure 3
Level of lumbar disc herniation versus age and lumbar lordotic Cobb’s angle. (a) The numbers in the figure correspond to different mean ages (±SEM) with respect to disc herniation levels. There is a significant increase in age as the lumbar disc herniation moves in the cranial direction. (b) The numbers in the figure correspond to the measured mean angles (±SEM) at different lumbar levels. The angle tends to decrease according to the lumbar disc herniation level in the cranial direction.
