Élévation de la jambe tendue controlatérale. À la suite de l'élévation de la jambe tendue du côté de la sciatique, on exécute la manœuvre du côté sain. Si l'E. J. T. controlatérale reproduit la douleur, elle suggère fortement une compression radiculaire discale importante, située médialement à l'aisselle de la racine plutôt que latéralement.  1, record 1, French, - %C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20de%20la%20jambe%20tendue%20controlat%C3%A9rale

A test done during [a] physical examination to determine whether a patient with low back pain has an underlying herniated disk, often located at L5 (fifth lumbar spinal nerve).  11, record 2, English, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test

When performing the straight leg raise test the patient is positioned supine in the absence of pillows. The clinician lifts the patient's symptomatic leg by the posterior ankle while keeping the knee in a fully extended position. The clinician continues to lift the patient's leg by flexing at the hip until pain is illicited or end range is reached. Neurologic pain which is reproduced in the leg and low back between 30-70 degrees of hip flexion is a positive result of lumbar disc herniation at the L4-S1 nerve roots. In order to make this test more specific, the ankle can be dorsiflexed and the cervical spine flexed. This increases the stretching of the nerve root and dura.  2, record 2, English, - straight%2Dleg%20raise%20test

Le test d’élévation de la jambe tendue est un signe essentiel de hernie discale. [Le patient est allongé sur le dos et l'opérateur soulève la jambe tendue. ] Ainsi, le genou est en extension pendant toute la manœuvre et l'opérateur pratique une flexion de hanche sans abduction, adduction et sans rotation. Le pied est laissé libre. Il s’agit donc d’une limitation douloureuse de la flexion de hanche. [...] On peut affirmer qu'il existe chez le sujet de moins de 50 ans une hernie discale, si l'EJT est positif. Par contre si l'EJT est négatif, il peut exister une compression nerveuse(exemple : canal lombaire étroit).  3, record 2, French, - test%20d%26rsquo%3B%C3%A9l%C3%A9vation%20de%20la%20jambe%20tendue

The herniated disc may extend above and below the disc level. This is most conspicuous in subligamentous disc herniation, where the disc tissue typically extends upward and looks like a hockey stick on sagittal images, while a herniated disc extruding both cranially and caudally looks like a mushroom.  1, record 3, English, - subligamentous%20disc%20herniation

Fig. 2 : hernie discale sous-ligamentaire. La dégénérescence va continuer avec ensuite une compression de la racine par une hernie sous-ligamentaire(lombo-radiculalgie). Puis, le ligament dorsal pourra être rompu, entraînant une diminution de la composante douloureuse lombaire [...]  1, record 3, French, - hernie%20discale%20sous%2Dligamentaire

The appearance of a radiolucent stripe in an intervertebral disk, [which is] a manifestation of disk degeneration.  1, record 4, English, - vacuum%20disk%20phenomenon

Record number: 4, Textual support number: 1 CONT

The vacuum disc phenomenon was ... described as the presence of "air" in the intervertebral soft tissues of the spine. It is related to advanced arthrosis of the intervertebral disc. In the early stages of disc degeneration, the nucleus pulposus begins to desiccate, which results in fissuring of the fibrocartilage. These fissures can develop into spaces or clefts that fill with gas from the surrounding tissues. Gas obtained by aspiration directly from a vacuum disc was found to consist of 92 per cent nitrogen.  2, record 4, English, - vacuum%20disk%20phenomenon

Au début le disque intervertébral peut apparaître bombant et biconvexe avec un plateau vertébral déprimé et aminci en regard du nucleus pulposus, ce qui est lié à la compression du cartilage par le nucleus turgescent, gênant son ossification normale. Le pincement discal est tardif et inconstant. Il traduit toujours une dégénérescence discale. Il peut s’accompagner d’un phénomène du gaz intra-discal.  1, record 4, French, - ph%C3%A9nom%C3%A8ne%20du%20gaz%20intra%2Ddiscal
