  • Title: Traumatic lumbar hernia.
    Author: Barden BE, Maull KI.
    Journal: South Med J; 2000 Nov; 93(11):1067-9. PubMed ID: 11095553.
    Abstract:
    Lumbar hernias occur infrequently; however, after trauma, they can present challenging problems in management. Unlike congenital or primary acquired lumbar hernias, posttraumatic lumbar hernias result from a disruption in normal anatomic boundaries and may require extensive reconstruction. We describe a case of lumbar hernia in a patient who had been crushed between two train cars, review the anatomy of the lumbar region, and identify treatment options.
