The International Journal of Spine Surgery has announced that specific International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision, Clinical Modification (ICD-10-CM) codes have been granted for lumbar discogenic pain associated with degenerative disc disease. This development allows for more precise diag...
Lee and colleagues (2020) stated that lumbar traction is widely used as a non-operative treatment for lumbar intervertebral disc disease. The effect of traditional traction (TT) using linear-type traction devices remains controversial for various reasons, including technical limitations. These researchers...
This retrospective cross-sectional study examined patients who made one or more NHI claims with HIVD (ICD-10 code: M511, M518, M519) as the primary or secondary diagnosis over a 10-year period (2010–2019). From this sample, we selected adult patients, aged 20 years or older, who soug...
Other conditions that have been confused with LSS include osteoarthritis of the hip, vascular claudication (with peripheral arterial disease), unstable spondylolisthesis, and lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. Other frequent concomitant problems that may mandate additional differential diagnosis for those wi...
This study had the following strengths: large sample size with matched control subjects, reliable disease diagnosis purely by physicians, and minimized effect of socioeconomic status under the National Health Insurance system. Association of type 2 diabetes mellitus and degenerative lumbar spine disorders...
To further characterize the effects of rs6651255, we identified an independent sample of Icelandic cases from hospital records (Ncase ¼ 930) diagnosed as the LDHsurg cases, (with intervertebral disc disorder with radiculopathy represented by ICD-10 code M51.1) who, however, had no history of ...

Given that lumbar disc herniation (LDH) is a prevalent spinal condition that causes significant individual suffering and societal costs, the genetic basis of LDH has received relatively little research. Our aim is to increase understanding of the genetic
