The goal is to determine the value of tethering syndrome in the development of pain in patients with lumbar osteochondrosis.
Materials and research methods: The study was conducted in 112 (61 men, 51 women) patients operated on for lumbar osteochondrosis with lumbar ischialgic syndrome.
Conclusion: Tethering syndrome (terminal thread tension syndrome) developing due to cauditis (terminal cistern of the spinal cord) is the cause of compression and traction (damaged-demyelinated) hyperalgesic nerve root with subsequent development of radicular pain syndrome.
