 The purpose of this study was to establish a new clinical diagnostic tool for extra-foraminal stenosis at L5-S1. The subjects were 21 patients with lumbar radiculopathy at L5. With the subjects under general anesthesia before surgery we positioned a pair of needle electrodes at the exit zone of the fifth lumbar nerve root. The roots were then electrically stimulatied with the electrodes, and compound muscle action potentials were recorded from the bilateral tibialis anterior muscles to measure the distal latency of the L5 nerve root potentials. Their latencies ranged from 12.0 ms to 15.6 ms in the cases with spinal canal stenosis at L4/5 alone, as opposed to 15.2 ms to 55.9 ms in those with extra-foraminal stenosis at L5-S1. We plotted an ROC curve and identified a cutoff value of 15.2 ms. This value provides a new diagnostic criterion for extra-foraminal stenosis at L5-S1 based on measurements of the distal latency of L5 nerve root potentials from the exit zone.
