8 sty 2024 · Surgery is a very rare option for treating Schmorl’s nodes. A doctor may only recommend it if you have radiculopathy that does not go away. Surgery usually involves removing disc material.
4 sty 2024 · Schmorl’s nodes are a common spinal disc herniation in which the soft tissue of the intervertebral disc bulges out into the adjacent vertebrae through an endplate defect. Schmorl’s nodes are commonly seen in the upper lumbar spine and are often discovered incidentally on imaging studies.
18 sie 2013 · A recent epidemiological analysis revealed that Schmorl's nodes occur more frequently in the thoracolumbar transition (T7–L1 region) and most commonly affect the inferior (rather than the superior) surface of the vertebral body (62.3 %).
29 lis 2023 · Schmorl's nodes are abnormalities in the bones of the spine that occur due to a herniated disc bulging upward or downward. Learn more here.
10 wrz 2020 · Endplate fractures around the Schmorl’s node could result in severe back pain that is similar to vertebral compression fractures. The objective of this study was to prospectively analyze the surgical effectiveness and safety of percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) for endplate fractures around the SNs.

28 kwi 2012 · First described in 1927, a Schmorl’s node (SN) is the herniation of nucleus pulposus (NP) through the cartilaginous and bony end plate into the body of the adjacent vertebra. SNs are common findings on imaging, and although most SNs are asymptomatic, some have been shown to become painful lesions.
