abstract

abstract   background: sacroiliac joint (sij) dysfunction is a widely known but poorly defined   cause of low back pain. to our knowledge, few published studies have been   conducted to evaluate systematically the prevalence and significance of concomitant   sacroiliac joint dysfunction in patients with herniated lumbar discs. as concomitant   sij dysfunction in low back pain patients is likely to respond to particular noninvasive   interventions such as manipulation, improved understanding of the relationship   between these two diagnoses would improve clinical decision making and research.   methods: this study was designated to estimate the prevalence of concomitant   sacroiliac joint dysfunction in sub acute low back pain patients with image proven   discopathy and evaluate the theory that sacroiliac joint dysfunction can be a source of   pain and functional disability in discopathy. a total of 202 patients with sub acute   radicular back pain and mri proven herniated lumbar discs underwent standardized   physiatrist history and physical examination, specified for detection of concomitant   sacroiliac joint dysfunction.   results: sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a concomitant finding in 72.3% of evaluated   patients. there was significantly higher sij dysfunction prevalence in female   patients (p <0.001), patients with recurrent pain (p <0.005) and in patients with positive   straight leg raising provocative test (p <0.0001).   conclusion: sij dysfunction is a significant pathogenic factor with high   possibility of occurrence in low back pain. thus, in the presence of   radicular and sacroiliac joint symptoms, sij dysfunction, regardless of   intervertebral disc pathology, must be considered in clinical decision   making.

Determining the Extent of Lumbar Discectomy in Patients with Herniated Lumbar Discs

Tel: 401-793-9136 Fax: 401-444-2781 Lumbar discectomy for lumbar disc herniation is one of the most common spine procedures performed. The incidence of symptomatic herniated lumbar discs is estimated to be between 1-2% [1] and over 480,000 lumbar discectomies are performed annually in the United States [2, 3]. Lumbar discectomies are effective in relieving back and leg pain [4] and patient outc...

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction.

AIM Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is a disorder presenting with low back and groin pain. It should be taken into consideration during the preoperative differential diagnosis of lumbar disc herniation, lumbar spinal stenosis and facet syndrome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Four cases with sacroiliac dysfunction are presented. The clinical and radiological signs supported the evidence of sacroiliac dysf...

Sacroiliac joint dysfunction in athletes.

The sacroiliac (SI) joint is a common source of low back pain in the general population. Because it is the link between the lower extremities and the spine, it sustains even higher loads during athletic activity, predisposing athletes to a greater probability of joint dysfunction and pain. The diagnosis and treatment of SI joint dysfunction remains controversial, due to complex anatomy and biom...

Aquaporin-1 Expression in Herniated Human Lumbar Intervertebral Discs

STUDY DESIGN Case series. OBJECTIVE Intervertebral disc (IVD) degeneration is the cause of spondylosis. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, but disc dehydration often plays a role. In this study, we aim to identify and quantify aquaporin-1 (AQP1) in ex vivo human degenerated IVDs obtained intraoperatively and to investigate the relationship between AQP1 levels and magnetic resonance imagin...
