Evaluation of spinopelvic parameters in patients with lumbosacral transitional vertebra: a cross sectional and comparative study.
Year: 2023
Type: article
Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Lumbosacral transitional vertebra (LSTV) is the most common congenital anomaly of the lumbosacral junction and is a frequent cause of back pain in young patients with a prevalence of 4.6% to 36% in different regions. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate spinopelvic parameters in patients with lumbosacral transitional vertebra and to compare them with the same parameters of low back ache patients without lumbosacral transitional vertebra. METHODS: -values were calculated. RESULTS: -value (0.007). No significant differences were obtained in sacral slope and Pelvic-incidence and lumbar lordosis mismatch. CONCLUSION: LSTV alters the spinopelvic parameters. Altered spinopelvic parameters predispose to spondylolisthesis, degenerative disc disease, and facet joint arthritis and are important in preoperative planning in spine and pelvic surgeries.
