- Abstract
Low-back problems are one of the most frequent reasons for disability compensation claims by workers. However, the effect of Workers' Compensation status on the long-term outcome for workers with sciatica has not been studied in detail, to our knowledge. Therefore, we believe that it is important to describe the long-term outcomes for patients who have herniation of a lumbar disc and sciatica according to the Workers' Compensation status at the time of the preoperative consultation.
