Abstract :
Background: The prevalence of LBP in Indian population has been found to vary between 6.2% (in general population) to 92% (in construction workers). Many structural components of spine are responsible for low backpain of degenerative etiology including the interverteal disc, verteal periosteum, facet joints and spinal ligaments. Aims: The aim of this study was to assess the role of MRI in the evaluation of Ligamentum Flavum Hypertrophy and Facetal Arthropathy in patients with low backpain. Material and Methods: This cross–sectional study was conducted on forty patients with chief complaint of low back pain Results: Of the 40 patients evaluated with MRI lumbosacral spine for low backpain, facetal arthropathy was seen in 17 patients (42.5%) and Ligamentum Flavum Hypertrophy was seen in 13 patients (32.5%). Conclusion: It was concluded that MRI is a useful and safe modality for the evaluation of lumbar spine pathologies like facetal arthropathy and ligamentum flavum hypertrophy in patients with LBP.
