[Degenerative instability of the lumbar spine].
Degenerative instability is difficult to define, diagnose, and treat. Diagnosis and treatment of degenerative instability are based on the biomechanical stability of the functional spinal unit as well as on the pathologic diagnosis of the disease. Recent advancements in biomechanical studies on the functional spinal unit and radiological diagnostic methods have introduced new diagnostic criteri...
متن کاملSegmental instability of the lumbar spine.
The lumbar spine, although often described as a single functional unit, is composed of 5 vertebrae forming what are called "motion segments" connected in series.5 Each motion segment consists of 2 adjacent vertebral bodies and the connecting ligaments.6 Spinal motion segments represent the smallest segments of the spine exhibiting biomechanical characteristics similar to those of the entire spi...
متن کاملTreatment of 44 Cases With Lumbar Spine Stenosis and Degenerative Instability: Outcomes of Surgical Intervention
Background and Aim: Degenerative lumbar spine disease can lead to lumbar spine instability. The patients can present with Low Back Pain (LBP), radicular pain, and motor and sensory dysfunction. Age >50, female sex and pregnancies are among prevalent risk factors. The degeneration process usually starts from the intervertebral discs progressing to involve facet joints, ligaments, and vertebral b...
متن کاملOperative treatment of degenerative lumbar spine spondylolisthesis.

متن کاملDegenerative Stenosis of the Lumbar Spine
This paper presents an update on degenerative stenosis of the lumbar spine, which is a common pathological condition among patients over the age of 65 years. The anamnesis and physical examination need to be precise, since radiography often only provides indirect signs. Magnetic resonance imaging is necessary if the symptoms persist. The treatment for lumbar stenosis is a matter of controversy....
