Abstract EN
The aim of this study is to establish whether facet tropism (FT) and orientation (FO) are associated with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (DLSS).
A retrospective computerized tomography (CT) study including 274 individuals was divided into two groups: control (82 males and 81 females) and stenosis (59 males and 52 females).
All participants have undergone high-resolution CT scan of the lumbar spine in the same position.
FT and FO were measured at L1-2 to L5-S1.
Significant sagittal FO was noted in the stenosis males (L2-3 to L4-5) and females (L2-3 to L5-S1) compared to the controls.
The prevalence of FT was remarkably greater in the stenosis males (L4-5, L5-S1) and females (L3-4, L5-S1) compared to their counterparts in the control group.
Our results also showed that FT (L3-4 to L5-S1) increases approximately 2.9 times the likelihood for DLSS development.
This study indicates that FO and FT in the lower lumbar spine are significantly associated with DLSS.
