Lumbar spine

Lumbar spine composed of 5 vertebral bones and the lower back of the spine is called as lumbar spine. The lower vertebral column is protected by the coccyx and the sacrum. The analysis of potential fatal conditions and for the many therapeutic purposes lumbar puncture is done to procure the cerebrospinal fluid, medical procedure for the diagnosis. About 32% of patients carries severe morbidity and experiences the headache prior to the lumbar puncture. Ultrasound lumbar puncture is most helpful to obsess patients with spinal disorders. Lumbar puncture market is expanding day by day, the market players are Beckton-Dickinson Company, Bio-Rad Laboratories, Affymetrix Inc, Ortho-clinical Diagnostics, Inc., Gen-probe, Inc., Beckman coulter Inc., Diamedix corporation, Novartis Diagnostics, Hologic, Inc., Abbott Laboratories, Inc.The lumbar spine, also known as the lower back, is a critical region of the vertebral column located between the thoracic spine (mid-back) and the sacrum (part of the pelvis). Comprising the five largest and strongest vertebrae in the spine, labeled L1 through L5, the lumbar spine plays a crucial role in supporting the upper body, facilitating movement, and protecting the spinal cord. Anatomically, the lumbar vertebrae are characterized by their robust structure, with thick vertebral bodies and broad spinous processes. These features provide stability and support for the weight-bearing function of the spine. Additionally, the intervertebral discs located between each lumbar vertebra act as shock absorbers, cushioning the spine and allowing for flexibility and movement. The lumbar spine is involved in a wide range of movements, including bending forward (flexion), bending backward (extension), bending to the side (lateral flexion), and twisting (rotation). These movements are facilitated by a complex interplay of muscles, ligaments, tendons, and spinal structures. Given its significant weight-bearing role and the range of movements it facilitates, the lumbar spine is susceptible to various injuries and conditions. Common lumbar spine disorders include

 

  • Degenerative disc disease
  • Facet arthropathy
  • Lumbar fractures
  • Herniated disc (ruptured or slipped disc)
  • Sciatica
  • Spinal stenosis
  • Spondylolisthesis
