Un rappel des données connues et une mise à jour des différents aspects de cette pathologie sont proposés : la physiopathologie, la clinique, l’imagerie, le traitement médial, rhumatologique et de médecine physique. Sont également décrites toutes les associations possibles de la hernie discale avec les autrespathologies du rachis lombaire (canal étroit, spondylolisthésis, scoliose), ainsi que des situations difficiles à prendre en charge comme la hernie discale paralysante, la récidive de hernie discale ou la hernie lombaire discale du jeune.Les techniques chirurgicales, classiques et mini-invasives, adaptées à la récupération rapide, sont développées. Les indications de libération, d’arthrodèse, voire de prothèse discale, sont discutées.Enfin, l’impact socioprofessionnel est abordé ainsi que des prises en charge plus originales comme l’ostéopathie.Rédigé de façon pratique et didactique, cet ouvrage intéressera un public large de praticiens prenant en charge cette pathologie, rhumatologues, rééducateurs, médecins du travail et chirurgiens.
