Özet
The Lasegue test ‐also known as the straight leg raise test‐, used for diagnostic purposes in cases of lumbar disc herniation can be explained by geometrical rules. This study aimed to describe the relationship between the apical and basal size of the herniated disc and the Lasegue test, and to describe the specificity and sensitivity of the herniated disc as a function of its height, location, and size. The study evaluated cases diagnosed with lumbar disc herniation with available MRI scans and Lasegue test results. The radix length to the foramen was calculated by recording the apical length and the base length of the herniated disc. The level and apical direction of the herniated discs were also recorded to determine the specificity and sensitivity of the test. Data from a total of 865 cases were analyzed. The apical length of the herniated disc was the most critical criterion for determining the Lasegue test. The Lasegue …
