Abstract:

The correlation between lumbosacral transitional vertebrae and low back pain was analyzed in a study of plain radiographs from normal subjects and patients with chronic low back pain. Of 184 normal subjects, only 29 (15.8%) had transitional vertebrae, while 97 (35.1%) of 276 patients were noted to have transitional vertebrae. The difference was highly significant (p < 0.01). The incidence of Castellvi type II transitional vertebrae was significantly higher in patients with low back pain than in controls (p < 0.01). This study indicates the etiologic significance of lumbosacral transitional vertebra in low back pain.

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Herniated Intervertebral Disc l: Introduction

Intervertebral disc herniation refers to the displacement of the nucleus pulposus (the gel-like inner core of the disc) through a tear or weakened area in the annulus fibrosus (the outer fibrous ring). The displaced disc material extends beyond the normal boundaries of the disc space and may compress or irritate nearby spinal nerve roots or, less commonly, the spinal cord.Etiology and Risk FactorsHerniation commonly results from degeneration, in which aging reduces disc hydration and...

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

Spinal Nerves: Plexus II

The plexuses of the lower body include the lumbar, sacral, and coccygeal plexuses, which innervate the abdomen, pelvis, legs, and coccygeal region. These plexuses control the transmission of sensory information and coordinate motor functions of the lower body.
The Lumbar Plexus
The lumbar plexus is situated within the lumbar region of the back and is primarily formed by the first four lumbar spinal nerves (L1 to L4). This plexus extends its branches into several nerves, including the...
