Over a decade after surgery for LDH during adolescence, health among cases is worse compared with controls. The head and trunk angles differ between cases and controls, indicating that the residual pain lingers and may cause changes in movement patterns long after a painful episode in early life. Gait may be a useful target for understanding maintenance of pain and disability among individuals treated surgically for LDH during adolescence.
