A Study of normal variation in lumbosacral angle in asymptomatic patients attending orthopaedic out-patient department of a medical college hospital, Telangana
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Orthopaedics Surgery - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction The Lumbosacral angle LSA is the angle formed between a line across the plane of the superior margin of the sacrum and a horizontal line Various literature and studies around the world shows wide normal variation in LS angle ranging from 320 to 440 Abnormal variation in LS angle is commonly associated with low back pain Hence research involving study of normal variation of LSA in different ethnic population plays a significant role In Indian scenario very few studies are available especially from rural population to know up to what extent variation in LS angle is normal Hence the present study attempts to study the normal variation in LSA in rural population of TelanganaMaterials and Methods A descriptive study of normal LSA variability involving 100 asymptomatic subjects between the age group of 2060 years was carried out in orthopedic department of Medical College hospital Telangana Fergusonrsquos technique was employed for calculation of LSAResults In this study variation of LSA ranges from 280 to 600 Overall average LSA was 340Females have greater average LSA as compared to malesConclusion Results of the present study show variability when compared to other similar studies which further strengthen the fact that normal variation in LSA differs among different region and races hence results of the present study will be a useful tool to health care providers for treating different spinal disorders of rural Telangana populationKeywordsnbspLumbosacral angle LSA Ferguson technique Lumbar lordosis LSA VariationnbspSpinal maturitynbsp
