Background: Most of the lumbosacral radiculopathies are caused by irritation spinal nerve roots associated with lower back and leg pain. common causes for root intervertebral disc herniation canal stenosis, other include spondylolisthesis, spondylosis, thickening ligamentum flavum, scoliosis etc. Lumbar radiculopathy frequently treated epidural corticosteroid injections. Common route administer...

BACKGROUND Transverse fractures of the sacrum are rare, and surgical treatment for these fractures ranges from conservative to challenging. Transverse stress fractures of the sacrum after placement of lumbar-to-sacral instrumentation have been previously described. We report a new technique to repair a transverse Type-2 Roy-Camille fracture with spondylolisthesis of S1 over S2 in a previously f...

Introduction: Spondylolisthesis is a common disorder in lumabar vertebras and consist of more than 30% of lumbar fusions are diagnosed. Degenerative spondylolisthesis is seen more in women at level L4-L5 however isthmic spondylolisthesis is seen in men at level L5-S1. MRI is used commonly as first paraclinic test for evaluation of patients with back pain with or without radiculoapthy. It is use...

BACKGROUND To evaluate the effect of spondylolisthesis on lumbar lordosis on the OSI (Jackson; Orthopaedic Systems Inc.) frame. Restoration of lumbar lordosis is important for maintaining sagittal balance. Physiologic lumbar lordosis has to be gained by intraoperative prone positioning with a hip extension and posterior instrumentation technique. There are some debates about changing lumbar lor...

We have analysed a number of radiological measurements in an attempt to clarify the predisposing factors for degenerative spondylolisthesis of the lumbosacral junction. We identified 57 patients with a slip and a control group of 293 patients without any radiological abnormality apart from age-related changes. The relative thickness of the L5 transverse process, the sacral table angle and the h...
