Spine Ultrasound Image Study of Spondylolisthesis Patient

Seoul National University

Status: Completed

Conditions: Spondylolisthesis

Treatments: Other: Spondylolisthesis

Study type: Observational

Details and patient eligibility

About

This study is to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of spondylolisthesis patients using spine ultrasound imaging. The optimal angle of spinal needle insertion for spinal anesthesia in spondylolisthesis patients was compared to that of normal patients without abnormal spinal anatomy.

Enrollment: 40 patients

Sex: All

Ages: 20+ years old

Volunteers: No Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion criteria

• Adult patients scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery.
• with ASA physical status classification system I, II, III.

Exclusion criteria

• Patients with communication difficulties.
• Patient who can not take a lateral decubitus position for spinal anesthesia. (e.g) fracture)
• Patients with a medical history of spinal surgery.
• Patients with significant spinal anatomical deformity any other than spondylolisthesis. (for spondylolisthesis patients group)

Trial design

40 participants in 2 patient groups

normal lumbar spine

Description:

Patient without spondylolisthesis or significant spinal anatomic deformity. (ex\> severe spondylosis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, etc..)

spondylolisthesis

Description:

Spondylolisthesis patients, with whom the deformity is at just one level. The patients should not have any other significant spinal deformity. (ex\> severe spondylosis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, etc..)

Treatment:

Other: Spondylolisthesis
