Abstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate pelvic insufficiency and its correlation with lumbago side. Methods 72 cases of patients who received treatment from March 2010 to February 2013 for lumbago were analyzed. Their pelvic insufficiency parameters were estimated by x-ray analysis and lumbago sides were considered. The data were analyzed to find out correlation of pelvic insufficiency parameters and correlation between parameters and lumbago sides. Pearson correlation and two-by-k cross tabulation analysis were used. Results 1) Iliac height difference had significant correlation with femur height difference and the result was alike previous studies' results. 2) Femur height difference and iliac height difference had no significant correlation with iliac width difference. 3) Posterior rotation malposition ilium side and inflare side had no significant correlation with lumbago side. Conclusions Iliac height difference had significant correlation with femur height difference and sides of pelvic insufficiency had no significant correlation with lumbago sides.
