Volumetric and symptomatic characteristics of thoracic disc herniation: an observational study of 994 surgically treated patients

TDH presents with diverse clinical and radiological features. Despite their size, larger hernias have shown lower odds of neurological impairments, suggesting compensatory mechanisms. This study underscores the importance of volumetric assessments and systematic classification to better understand and manage TDH. Further research is needed to explore the natural history and long-term outcomes of TDH.
