The association of spinal osteoarthritis with lumbar lordosis [PDF]

BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2010
Careful review of published evidence has led to the postulate that the degree of lumbar lordosis may possibly influence the development and progression of spinal osteoarthritis, just as misalignment does in other joints. Spinal degeneration can ensue from the asymmetrical distribution of loads.

The Lumbar Lordosis in Males and Females, Revisited [PDF]

PLOS ONE, 2015
Whether differences exist in male and female lumbar lordosis has been debated by researchers who are divided as to the nature of variations in the spinal curve, their origin, reasoning, and implications from a morphological, functional and evolutionary perspective. Evaluation of the spinal curvature is constructive in understanding the evolution of the

Lordosis Distribution Index in Short-Segment Lumbar Spine Fusion – Can Ideal Lordosis Reduce Revision Surgery and Iatrogenic Deformity? [PDF]

Neurospine, 2021
Objective The demand for spinal fusion is increasing, with concurrent reports of iatrogenic adult spinal deformity (flatback deformity) possibly due to inappropriate lordosis distribution.

Restoration of Segmental Lordosis and Lumbar Lordosis after Oblique Lumbar Interbody Fusion

Indian Spine Journal
Background: Oblique lumbar interbody fusion (OLIF) can restore segmental lordosis (SL) and lumbar lordosis (LL) in a minimally invasive manner. This study aims to measure changes in SL and LL after OLIF and to evaluate the change in SL concerning ...

Lumbar lordosis in osteoporosis and in osteoarthritis [PDF]

European Spine Journal, 2008
The curvature of the lumbar spine and the risk of developing either osteoporosis (OP) or osteoarthritis (OA) are influenced by many common factors. The aim of this study is to determine whether lumbar lordosis is different between patients with either disease and healthy persons. A cross-sectional, blinded, controlled design was implemented.

Etiology of lumbar lordosis and its pathophysiology: a review of the evolution of lumbar lordosis, and the mechanics and biology of lumbar degeneration [PDF]

Neurosurgical Focus, 2014
The goal of this review is to discuss the mechanisms of postural degeneration, particularly the loss of lumbar lordosis commonly observed in the elderly in the context of evolution, mechanical, and biological studies of the human spine and to synthesize recent research findings to clinical management of postural malalignment ...
