BEL AĞRISI ŞİKAYETİ OLAN HASTALARDA PSOAS KAS DEJENERASYONUNUN DİSK VE FASET EKLEM DEJENERASYONU İLE İLİŞKİSİNİN LOMBER MRG İLE ORTAYA KONMASI:

Objective: The purpose of the present study was to determine relationship between psoas muscle lipoatrophy and facet disc degeneration in patients
 with low back pain lumbar spinal Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI).
 Material Methods: A total 304 patients who had were included this retrospective cross-sectional study. MRIs all evaluated for signs atrophy. Fat content each graded semi-quantitatively (Grade 0-4). joint
 degenerations patient also graded. Psoas thickness measured mediolateral axial plane parallel vertebra.
 Results: It found that mean right score 35.9±7.2 mm on average, left 35.8±7.1 mm. 41.8% grade 1, 41.1% 2, 33.6% 45.1% 64.1% 23.4% 53.9% 30.3% 2.
 Conclusion: When spine MRI examinations are evaluated, muscles must be terms Indicating may useful better rehabilitation planning.
