    Journal: Vestn Khir Im I I Grek; 1987 Jan; 138(1):50-4. PubMed ID: 3590537.
    Abstract:
    Under examination and treatment there were 154 patients with lumbar osteochondrosis. In diagnosing the diseases contrast methods were used: pneumomyelography in 70 patients, peridurography in 114 patients, discography in 30 patients. Surgical treatment was used in 105 patients. An analysis has shown the contrast methods of x-ray examination in hernias of lumbar disks to establish more exact levels of localization of the process which facilitates determination of a rational operative access. Discography was shown to be the most valuable and reliable method of diagnosis of the disease.
