Abstract:
Objective To study the methods of clinic diagnosis and treatment for chronic lumbar pain induced by lumbo-sacral compartment syndrome. Methods Thirty-three patients with chronic lumbar pain induced by lumbo-sacral compartment syndrome were diagnosed by physical, radiological examination and intra lumbo-sacral muscle compartmental pressure measurement. 33 patients consisted of 15 men and 18 women, with the mean age 42.3 years, and mean duration of chronic lumbar pain was 27 years. Lumbar erector spinae osteo-facial compartment was decompressed using mini-invasive surgery. Lumbar and abdomen muscles were rehabilitated extensively after operation. Results After operation, symptoms of low back pain were alleviated significantly, and walking distance were promoted as well. Post operative flexion and extension of lumbar spine were increased to (15??0.5?) and (7??0.7?) respectively. Intramuscular pressure in rest state, during movement and no more than 6 min after movement was (6.8?0.8), (162.3?12.35) and (7.1?0.6) mm Hg respectively [before operation was(10.4?0.9), (187.1?11.16) and (13.2?1.3) mm Hg respectively, P
