Scattered reports exist in the medical literature regarding facet tropism. However, this finding has had mixed conclusions regarding its origin and impact on the normal spine.
We performed a literature review of the anatomy, embryology, biomechanics, and pathology related to lumbar facet tropism.
Facet tropism is most commonly found at L4-L5 vertebral segments and there is some evidence that this condition may lead to facet degenerative spondylolisthesis, intervertebral disc disease, and other degenerative conditions.
Long-term analyses of patients are necessary to elucidate relationships between associated findings and facet tropism. In addition, a universally agreed definition that is more precise should be developed for future investigative studies.
医学文献中存在关于小关节不对称的零散报道。然而，这一发现关于其起源以及对正常脊柱的影响存在不同结论。
我们对与腰椎小关节不对称相关的解剖学、胚胎学、生物力学和病理学进行了文献综述。
小关节不对称最常见于L4-L5椎体节段，并且有一些证据表明这种情况可能导致小关节退变性椎体滑脱、椎间盘疾病和其他退行性疾病。
有必要对患者进行长期分析，以阐明相关发现与小关节不对称之间的关系。此外，应为未来的研究制定一个更精确的、得到普遍认可的定义。
