Popis: The study investigates lower lumbar segments (L4-5, L5-S1) with disc herniation with respect to posterior vertebral shifts, the orientation of facet joints, age, sex, and body mass index. Decubitus lumbar radiographs as well as magnetic resonance imagings of 173 patients (226 segments) were analyzed. The results support biomechanical considerations, that the posterior vertebral shifts lead to the migration of herniated disc at L4-5.
