ANATOMICAL CHARECTERISTICS OF LOW LUMBAR REGION • Lordotic segment • Anterior height of vertebrae and disc more than posterior • Sagittal position of facets • Decreased length of posterior elements • Increased pedicle diamater and medial angulation • Relative increase of coronal diameter with respect to neural structures • Neurologic injury as in the form of peripheric nerve injury and increased chance of recovery
