LUMBAR LORDOSIS AND SACRAL SLOPE ANGLE MEASUREMENTS ACCORDING TO ADULT AGE GROUPS: A MORPHOMETRIC STUDY
Journal Title: Journal of Turkish Spinal Surgery - Year 2015, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
Purpose: The aim of the study is to evaluate lumbar lordosis (LL) and sacral slope (SS) angle values according to healthy adult age groups, gender and correlations with each other. Materials-Methods: We inspected 132 patients’ datas retrospectively from the patient files. The patients were divided into 3 age groups as 18-40, 41-60 and 61-80. Patients who had been imaged with lumbar vertebral multi-sliced computed tomography were included. Results: Forty-six participants (34.8 %) were between 18-40 years, 46 cases (34.8 %) between 41-60 years, and 40 cases (30.3 %) between 61-80 years. There was no significant difference between the age groups regarding gender. The comparisons revealed that both LL, and SS values were significantly higher in 61-80 years (p<0.001 for both). According to the analyses, age (p<0.001), LL (p<0.001), and SS (p<0.001) values were significantly higher in females when compared to males. LL and SS values showed statistically significant and strong positive correlation with each other. Conclusion: LL and SS values showed statistically significant and strong positive correlation with each other through all age groups additionally significantly higher in 61-80 years.
