What is meant here is the deterioration of the alignment of the vertebrae in the lumbar spine, that is to say; one slips forward or backward. These patients have low back pain because the mobility of the waist is impaired. The aforementioned slippage may continue since childhood, or it may be due to a fracture in the lower back. Of course, the fact that these patients are overweight and work hard will add salt and pepper to the event.
It is not enough to evaluate the patient with MRI alone, X-rays and computed tomography (CT) must be taken while bending and straightening while standing. However, unfortunately, the only treatment method in these patients is “fusion, instrumentation”, as the doctors say, and “Platinum Surgery” as they say among the people.
