Facet jointBackground Lumbar spine abnormalities, in particular stress fractures to the pars interarticularis, are common in elite junior tennis players, though the difference in prevalence between males and females remains unclear. Further, facet joint orientation appears to be a possible option for ...
Radiography was used to obtain the anterior and lateral images of the lumbar spine, combined with the placement of markers to accurately select the needle track. Select the appropriate needle insertion angle and mark the needle insertion position, combined with the image to measure the needle ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of degenerative changes in the paraspinal muscles caused by local (prolonged compression) or systemic (high-fat diet) factors on the structure of the intervertebral discs and facet joints of the lumbar spine in rats. ...

Imaging results are frequently considered as hallmarks of disease by spine surgeons to plan their future treatment strategy. Numerous classification systems have been proposed to quantify or grade lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans and thus ob

A prospective statistical study by Jackson et al. [85], which included 390 patients and examined 127 variables, was not able to identify clinical facet joint syndromes or find predictors of who may respond better to facet joint injections. Furthermore, although pain referral patterns have been id...
PURPOSE : To investigate the complex biomechanical influences on the lumbar spine when vertebral FO and FT are varied using finite element analysis (FEA) and contour maps visualization, and analyze the biomechanical role of facet joint structural parameters in the process of lumbar degenerative ...
