Zusammenfassung

Die Geschichte einer Erkrankung und deren Behandlung zu kennen, ist immer lehrreich und hilft, Zusammenhänge besser zu verstehen. Es zeigt auch, welche unglaublichen Vorleistungen notwendig waren, um Patienten heute in der für uns gewohnten Art zu behandeln. Dieser vorliegende Artikel versucht, die Spinalkanalstenose aus historischer Sicht zu beleuchten und diejenigen Wegbereiter zu benennen, die zum Verständnis der Epidemiologie, Anatomie, Pathogenese, Klassifikation und Diagnostik der Spinalkanalstenosen beigetragen haben. Darüber hinaus sind die Bemühungen von Wissenschaftlern und Klinikern zu würdigen, die in den letzten sieben Jahrzehnten an der Entwicklung der Therapie der lumbalen Spinalkanalstenose mitgewirkt haben.

Abstract

To know the history of a disease and its treatment is always instructive and helps us to understand the contexts better. It also shows what unbelievable preliminary work was necessary for us be able to treat patients today in the way we are used to. This article attempts to shed light on spinal canal stenosis from a historical perspective and to identify the pioneers who contributed to the understanding of the epidemiology, anatomy, pathogenesis, classification and diagnostic work-up of spinal canal stenosis. In addition, the efforts of scientists and clinicians who have participated in developing the treatment of lumbar spinal canal stenosis in the last seven decades should be recognized.
