摘要

Purpose There is considerable variation in the management of foot drop secondary to lumbar degenerative disease (LDD) that occurs between centres and surgeons (spinal surgeons and neurosurgeons). The lack of standardised practice reflects the paucity in evidence base for management of this condition. In this survey, we aimed to assess current practice in the UK and identify the areas of variation. Methods A case-based survey was distributed to members of the Society of British Neurological Surgeons and British Association of Spine Surgeons through an online questionnaire. The survey consisted of 10 questions designed to determine the management of foot drop secondary to LDD. Results A total of 163 responses were collected among UK neurosurgeons and spinal surgeons with good geographical representation. 92 were Consultants. 86 of the respondents would offer surgery. The indication for offering surgery varied but 54 of respondents would offer surgery to patients who present with a painful foot drop. There was a huge variation in offering surgery dependent on the grade of weakness. The strongest prognostic indicator predicted was duration of weakness (92). The timing of intervention was wide-ranging in the responses received. Almost all responded that they would be willing to participate in a prospective study in the future to determine best practice. Conclusions This survey highlights the significant variability in management of foot drop secondary to LDD amongst consultant surgeons within the UK. It is also suggestive of a weak evidence base and indicates an urgent need for a high quality national prospective study.
