Abstract:
To investigate the etiological and pathological characteristics of adolescent lumbocrural pain, the findings of X ray, CT and MRI and biopsy in 67 cases of adolescent (14～28 years old) and 97 of the adult and the aged were compared. The results showed that the incidence of back epiphysis loop fracture of lumbosacral vertebrae was 40.74% (12/27) and 22.50% (9/40) in the teenage (14～18) and the youth (19～28) respectively, and 3.85% (2/52) and 4.44% (2/47) in the adult(28～60) and the aged (over 60) respectively, showing that the differences were significant between the adolescent and the adult(P 0.05 ). It is indicated that back epiphysis loop fracture of lumbosacral vertebrae is the specific pathological feature of adolescent lumbocrural pain. Therefore, it should be regarded as an important cause of adolescent lumbocrural pain.
