Study of lumbosacral angle in low back pain patients attending orthopaedic out-patient department of a medical college hospital, Telangana
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Orthopedics - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Abnormal variation in Lumbosacral angle (LSA) is commonly associated with low back pain (LBP). However, normal variation of LSA itself is often debatable. Various studies around the world show wide normal variation in LSA. Hence it’s imperative to distinguish LSA variation being a normal one and the one which is associated with LBP. In Indian scenario very few studies are available, especially from rural population, to know association of LSA in low back pain. Hence, the present study attempts to study LSA in chronic LBP patients from rural population of Telangana. Material and Methods: LSA study was carried out on 100 LBP patients attending Orthopaedic out-patient department of Medical college hospital of Telangana and the results were compared with LSA of 100 asymptomatic cases. Results: Overall average LSA in symptomatic cases was 35o which is more than mean LSA of 34o seen in asymptomatic cases. Mean LSA is more in female patients as compare to males. Conclusion: Mean LSA (350) of low backache cases is more than mean LSA (34o) of normal cases. Though overall difference of mean LSA in two groups is not significant, however this difference is statistically more significant in 51-60 years age group.
