When the lumbar spine is flexed and twisted, if both joints are asymmetric, the stress of the three-joint complex is imbalanced. Resistance on the sides of the vertebral body is different, and the vertebral body will deviate from the original trajectory, thus pulling the rear of the ...
LumbarSPINEComputedTomographyBackground: It has been accepted amongst rheumatologists that rheumatoid arthritis (RA) does not involve the facet joints (FJs) of the spine;nevertheless, the issue is still under debate. Objective: To compare the prevalence of FJs' changes between patients with RA ...

Intra-articular injection of collagenase induced experimental osteoarthritis of the lumbar facect joint in rats s, spondylosis, endplate sclerosis, spondylolisthesis, and facet joint osteoarthritis have all been debated as potential pain generators in the lumbar spine... 吳興盛 被引量: 38发表: 2008...
a weight-bearing lateral flexion-extension radiograph is most effective for grading spondylolisthesis and may be needed in addition to MRI and CT imaging. Anteroposterior translation of more than a few millimetres is suggestive of lumbar spine instability in the sagittal plane, which in the appropriate...
There are many structures in the lumbar spine that can serve as pain generators and often, the etiology of low back pain is multifactorial. Since being described as a potential pain generator by Joel Goldthwait in 1911 [5], the facet joint has been increasingly recognized as an important cause...
All included patients had lumbar spine MRI scans performed at this Hospital within 3 months of the imaging-guided facet injections. No distinction was made as to whether the MRI scans were performed 3 months before or after the intervention. The natural course of MCs is a long one, and thus...
