Objectives : The purpose of this study is to find out clinical and radiological correlation be-tween lumbar lordotic angle, lumbar intervertebral disc angle and lumbar spinal stenosis.
Methods : Total 250 patients` who had visited Bu-Chun Jaseng Hospital of Korean Medicine lumbar lordotic angle, intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and dural sac dimension of L4/5 were measured by X-ray and MRI films. We analysed correlation between lumbar lor-dotic angle, intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and lumbar spinal stenosis in terms of clinical and radiological aspect.
Results : 1. The mean intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 were 10.72±3.98o, the mean lum-bar lordotic angle were 41.97±11.73o and the mean dural sac dimension of L4/5 were 133.18±45.46 mm2. 2. This study shows that dural sac dimension of L4/5 was inversely reated to intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 by statistically (p＜0.05). 3. There was visible dif-ference regarding intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 between patients who had been diag-nosed with lumbar spinal stenosis by clinically and patients who had not been diagnosed with lumbar spinal stenosis by clinically; The former`s angle was relatively higher than the latter`s (p＜0.05).
Conclusions : There was a statistical significance between intervertebral disc angle of L4/5 and lumbar spinal stenosis in single-segment.
