About this recording

The professor reviews the role of stabilization in lumbar disc herniation using a clinical example. The description emphasizes assessment of MRI, symptoms, neurological findings, instability and facet joints. The key question is what problem nerve decompression should resolve and whether a separate reconstruction stage is needed.
