We report the case of a 48-year-old female with L5 sciatica due to an osteochondral loose body in the foramen. This is only the third reported case of a single osteochondral loose body in the lumbar spine and the first reported case found in the foramen. UR - https://acr.amegroups.org/article/view/5187
