To analyze whether multifidus degeneration has a relationship with degenerative lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS).
Clinical data of 40 patients with LSS were analyzed retrospectively. Moreover, 40 healthy people were selected as controls. Subjects of both groups underwent a 1.5-T lumbar spinal magnetic resonance imaging scan in our hospital, and then the multifidus muscularity, fatty infiltration ratio, and bilateral asymmetry at L4/5 level on magnetic resonance imaging were measured with ImageJ software to analyze and compare the multifidus parameters between the 2 groups.
Compared with the control group, the multifidus muscularity was lower, fatty infiltration ratio was greater, and muscle asymmetry was more significant at the L4/5 level in patients with LSS, and the difference between the 2 groups was statistically significant.
Multifidus degeneration, including reduced volume, increased fatty infiltration, and bilateral muscle asymmetry, has an association with LSS.
分析多裂肌退变与退变性腰椎管狭窄症(LSS)是否存在关联。
回顾性分析40例LSS患者的临床资料。此外,选取40名健康人作为对照。两组受试者均在我院接受1.5-T腰椎磁共振成像扫描,然后使用ImageJ软件测量磁共振成像上L4/5水平的多裂肌肌肉量、脂肪浸润率和双侧不对称性,以分析和比较两组之间的多裂肌参数。
与对照组相比,LSS患者在L4/5水平的多裂肌肌肉量更低,脂肪浸润率更高,肌肉不对称性更显著,两组之间的差异具有统计学意义。
多裂肌退变,包括体积减小、脂肪浸润增加和双侧肌肉不对称,与LSS有关联。
