He was limping due to excruciating pain on walking, and his visual analogue scale score for left leg pain was 8 out of 10. He had these symptoms for 2 months after he fell down from his bike, with recent aggravation of pain. On examination, his left hip flexion was grade 4/5 and left knee extension was grade 3/5, with dysesthesia and numbness along the left anterolateral thigh. The patient underwent transforaminal endoscopic lumbar discectomy) under local anesthesia with an excellent outcome.
