Degenerative lumbar intervertebral instability: what is it and how does imaging contribute?

Authors: Antonio Leone, Victor N. Cassar-Pullicino, Giuseppe Guglielmi, Lorenzo Bonomo

Published in: Skeletal Radiology | Issue 6/2009

Excerpt

Although low back pain (LBP) is the most common rheumatologic symptom that leads to consultation with a general practitioner, the identification of a specific symptomatic cause remains elusive in the majority of patients with mechanical LBP. Degenerative lumbar intervertebral instability as a cause of chronic LBP is an important factor in determining indications for spinal surgery. …
