Recent evidence now supports that patients who undergo surgery for lumbar disc herniation have improved outcomes in bodily pain and physical function at 4 years. Weinstein et al showed in the as-treated analysis that patients treated surgically for intervertebral disc herniation showed significantly greater improvement in pain, function, satisfaction, and self-rated progress over 4 years compared to patients treated non-operatively. They found at four years there was no significant difference in work status between the surgical and nonsurgical group. Incorrect Answers: Answer 1,2 &5: Surgical patients have improved outcomes in pain, physical function, at 4 years. Answer 4: There is no difference in work status at 4 years.
