Objective  To evaluate the clinical effects of surgical treatment for 30 patients with discogenic low back pain. Methods  A total of 30 patients with 36 intervertebral discs were treated with posterior approach lumbar discectomy and interbody fusion with internal fixation by strict criteria. All patients were followed up for one year. The low back pain before and one year after surgery was evaluated by Japanese Orthopaedic Association (JOA) score and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) score. Results  The patients’ JOA score increased from 14.6±2.3 (before operation) to 27.1±0.9 (one year after operation) (t=–26.936, P<0.001), while the patients’ VAS score decreased from 6.2±1.6 (before operation) to 1.4±0.9 (one year after operation) (t=16.335, P<0.001), and the differences were significant. Conclusion  When the conservative treatment is invalid, the operation of posterior lumbar intervertebral fusion is an effective method for the patinets with discogenic low back pain.
