  • Title: [Planimetric studies of the lumbar intervertebral space following nucleotomy by straight and angled rongeur].
    Author: Hausmann B, Forst R.
    Journal: Z Orthop Ihre Grenzgeb; 1986; 124(1):119-22. PubMed ID: 3962436.
    Abstract:
    Persisting, floating intervertebral disc sequesters after lumbar nucleotomy are one reason for recidivation of disc prolapses. For this reason, planimetric experiments at a lumbar intervertebral disc's cross-section are made using straight and angled forceps to estimate the maximum possible amount of curetted intervertebral material. The results show that, at the very best, no more than 70% of the intervertebral area can be reached by the common straight and angled forceps.
