Question
a typical l4/l5 disc herniation may cause radiculopathy at which nerve root?
l3
l4
l5
s1
Brief Explanations
In spinal anatomy, a herniated disc at the L4/L5 level typically impinges on the nerve root that exits below this disc space, which is the L5 nerve root. The L4 nerve root exits above the L4/L5 disc, so it is not affected by this specific herniation.
