Abstract: OBJETIVO: Documentar a presença de degeneração de disco e tropismo facetário em pacientes portadores de dor lombar crônica e sua distribuição por sexo e faixa etária. Avaliar também a associação de tropismo facetário e degeneração discal lombar além de avaliar a orientação das facetas de acordo com sexo e faixa etária. MÉTODOS: Estudo retrospectivo de imagens de ressonância magnética obtidas em 288 pacientes (N = 288; 118 homens e 170 mulheres) com média de idade de 53,33 anos, portadores de dor lombar crônica… Show more

“…Costa et al, 26 in their article assessing the relationship between facet tropism and degenerative lumbar disc disease, concluded that there is an increase in facet tropism with aging as a result of the progressive degenerative process.…”

“…As a result of the greater, more accentuated facet tropism (asymmetry of the facet joints), the lumbar degenerative cascade, originally described as the initial degeneration of the intervertebral disc followed by the degeneration of the interfacetary joints, could alter the order of articular degeneration, starting in the articular facets and subsequently triggering the degeneration of the intervertebral disc. 10 In the present study, only the correlation between facet joint and disc degeneration was evaluated, which was shown to be statistically significant (p ≤ 0.001). This intimate relationship, however, had already been described in the literature by Battié 5 and Benoist et al 18 Regarding the contribution of the sagittal spinal parameters to the origin or worsening of facet joint degeneration, Lv et al 24 describe the statistically significant correlation (p < 0.001) between the sacral slope and the onset of facet joint degeneration.…”

“…18,19 The importance of angulation and facet asymmetry, confirmed by facet joint tropism, in relation to pathologies of the lumbar spine, has been investigated by several authors. 8,10,[20][21][22] A statistically significant relationship between the side of the tropism and the side where the lumbar disc herniation occurs, as described by Tisot et al, 8 was apparent. The association between the degree of facet joint angulation and the appearance of degenerative spondylolisthesis, as described by Samartzis 23 and Chotiyarnwong et al, 22 was also found to be statistically significant.…”

“…Obesity, family history, discarthrosis, trauma, among others are risk factors for degenerative changes of the discs and posterior elements, favoring spinal canal stenosis. [1][2][3][4][5][6] A triarticular complex is found in each spinal segment, formed by the intervertebral disc and the facet joints, constituting a control mechanism for the axial, coronal, and sagittal movements of the lumbar spine. Asymmetry between the angles of the facet joints (right and left) is defined as facet tropism.…”
