Comparison of plain X-ray and MRI findings by determining the sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis of lumbar spinal stenosis in rural population [PDF]
Background: Lumbar spinal stenosis is the most frequent indication for spine surgery. The x-ray and MRI are the choice of investigation. Justified use of radiography can be cost effective in the management of lumbar spinal stenosis.

MANAGEMENT OF LUMBAR SPINAL STENOSIS [PDF]
The term stenosis means a narrowing of the calibre of an orifice or a tube. It causes a decreased flow of fluids or gasses within the tube or compression of its solid contents (Verbiest 1976). In the case of the spinal canal, the term indicates a pathological condition causing compression of the contents of the canal, particularly the neural structures.
