Norms of Sudanese lumbar Cobb’s angle: A computed tomography based study
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 9
Abstract
The purpose of this descriptive study was to standardize the normal values of lumbar vertebral Cobb’s angle for Sudanese subjects using Computerized Tomography (CT).This study was obtained at AlZytouna specialized hospital and Royal Care hospital. A sample of 200 Sudanese patients with different ages and genders were included. Cobb’s method was used in the evaluation of superior and inferior lumbar vertebra end plates. The lateral scouts for lumbar spine were obtained. Traumatic cases and any disease of the vertebral column, spinal canal, para vertebral muscles were excluded. Toshiba CT scanner was used. The exposure factors were 120 KVp, 10-50 MA. End plates angle from L1 to L5 were measured using Cobb’s method for both genders and the data were correlated to their ages, and body mass index (BMI). The mean Cobb’s angle of lumbar vertebral in males was (30.590 ) and in females was (35.650 ).There is significant differences in Cobb’s angle of lumbar spine between the two genders at p=0.000. The mean BMI in males was (24.53) and in females was (25.79),There is a linear relationship between Cobb’s angle of the lumbar vertebral and BMI . The study concluded that the mean Cobb’s angle of lumbar vertebral differs significantly between genders in Sudanese.
