Radiological study of sacrum in patients with low back pain

Dr. Anupam Baske, Dr. Gopal Chandra Mondal

Abstract :

 Sacrum is the fused lower  five sacral verteae along with the coccyx at the caudal end of the verteal column and it has the hiatus containing the rootlets of sacral and coccygeal spinal nerve. The compressive effect in the course of exit of the lower spinal nerve or anything else is the cause for low back pain. This prompted us to carry out the present study, which aimed to observe the verteal level of apex and base of sacral hiatus & the length and transverse diameter of sacral hiatus  among the patients with low back pain attending the radiology department of North Bengal Medical College and Hospital.One hundred  patients were analysed. 50 had the history of chronic low back pain i.e. study group.and  a group of 50 another age and sex–matched patients was considered in the study i.e. comparison group.Patients above 20 years age group attending the Radiology OPD with the digital radiograph of the antero–posterior view of lumbo–sacral spine,with history of low back pain was considered.In the present study, it was proved that deficiency on the dorsal surface of the sacrum is higher among the low back pain patients in whom it is one of the causes of the disease firmly established a larger study involving the living patients suffering from low back pain
