Objectives: The 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet joint is unstable area from an anatomical viewpoint, so that it is clinically major causes of low back pain. The purpose of this study is to assess the difference of the Van Akkerveeken measurement and intervertebral disc angle, Ferguson angle between the 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet syndrome patients and sample group patients.
Methods: Van Akkerveeken measurement, intervertebral disc angle and Ferguson angle were measured in 30 patients who had 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet syndrome and 31 sample group patients.
Results:
1. Van Akkerveeken measurement of the 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet syndrome patients is statistically larger that of than
sample group patients.
2. Intervertebral disc angle of the 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet syndrome patients is statistically larger that of than sample
group patients.
3. Ferguson angle is the 5th lumbar - 1st sacrum facet syndrome patients are not statistically larger than that of sample
group patients.
Conclusions: These results suggest that Van Akkerveeken measurement and intervertebral disc angle is able to be used for diagnosis of facet syndrome.
