Symptoms and signs of nerve root compression were far more severe than could be explained by the presence of relatively minor intrusions. Pre-operative myelograms disclosed single and often multiple defects of varying extent, some with complete block suggesting the presence of lesions more extensive than were encountered at operation. A significant common finding in these patients was the difficult operative exposure of the interspace caused by unusually prominent, bulbous articular facets and thickened, vertically orientated laminae. The spinal canal itself was shallow and exploration within its narrow confines was remarkably restricted. It became apparent that liberal unroofing of the spinal canal over the course of the nerve roots was as important for relief of symptoms as the excision of disc protrusions and spurs."
