summary

There are many reasons for nerve root adhesion. The most common one is secondary edema after operation. At this time, adhesion may occur. When this happens, patients must strengthen recuperation and adopt the method of supine position? Let's talk about it

Nerve root adhesion after operation?

According to the onset time and symptoms, if the diagnosis of cauda equina adhesion is too early, the diagnosis of the disease should be secondary nerve paralysis or nerve function damage.

After spinal canal expansion, most patients think that everything is OK, waiting for self recovery, which is wrong. From the mechanism of nerve function recovery, surgery only restores the diameter of spinal canal, but the recovery of nerve function depends on the nutrition of drugs and the activation of nerve function to control and regulate the normal regulation of limb movement, sensation, pain, temperature and other functions.

Nerve root adhesion is a common secondary problem of lumbar disc herniation. In patients with nerve root adhesion, the flexion activity of lumbar spine in standing position is significantly reduced, but the flexion activity of lumbar spine in sitting or supine position is not significantly limited; At the same time, the degree of lower limb elevation on the affected side decreased in straight leg elevation test. In view of the nerve root adhesion, we mainly use the straight leg raising traction training.

matters needing attention

In supine position, the straight leg of the affected side was raised to the extent that it could be raised, and then the affected side was further raised to the maximum by holding the back of the thigh of the affected side with both hands, and maintained for 3-5 seconds. Repeat 3-5 times. The patient lies on his back at home at the open door. The leg of the affected side is raised and leaning against the door frame. He holds the knee joint of the affected side with his hand on the same side, and presses down the affected side to straighten it, maintaining for 3-5 seconds, and restoring. Repeat 3-5 times.
