Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Six hundred and six clinical records of patients who were admitted to the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery, Suwa Red Cross Hospital, Nagano, Japan, due to lumbar disc herniation (LDH) between 1991 and 2002 were reviewed to determine the ideal conservative treatment period in relation to different types of LDH: contained and non-contained. Since 1997, we have prolonged in-hospital conservative treatment over a few weeks, which resulted in a decrease in the number of surgeries for non-contained LDH, especially of surgeries performed within 1 month. The number of surgeries for contained LDH did not decrease. The preoperative period of non-contained LDH was significantly shorter than that of contained LDH. These results indicate that for patients who have non-contained LDH, intensive conservative treatment may avoid a surgical procedure. For those patients who have contained LDH, conservative treatment should not be prolonged. We believe that the optimal duration of intensive conservative therapy should be less than 1 month.
