ABSTRACT

Objectives The purpose of this study is to find out clinical and radiological correlation between lumbar lordotic angle, lumbar intervertebral disc angle and lumbar spinal stenosis. Methods Total 250 patients' who had visited Bu-Chun Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine lumbar lordotic angle, intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and dural sac dimension of L4/5 were measured by X-ray and MRI films. We analysed correlation between lumbar lordotic angle, intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and lumbar spinal stenosis in terms of clinical and radiological aspect. Results 1. The mean intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 were 10.72±3.98o, the mean lumbar lordotic angle were 41.97±11.73o and the mean dural sac dimension of L4/5 were 133.18±45.46 mm2. 2. This study shows that dural sac dimension of L4/5 was inversely reated to intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 by statistically (p<0.05). 3. There was visible difference regarding intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 between patients who had been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis by clinically and patients who had not been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis by clinically; The former's angle was relatively higher than the latter's (p<0.05). Conclusions There was a statistical significance between intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and lumbar spinal stenosis in single-segment.
