The correlation between exaggerated fluid in lumbar facet joints and degenerative spondylolisthesis: prospective study of 52 patients
Background Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used to evaluate low back pain; however, MRI in the supine position does not always reveal degenerative spondylolisthesis.

description | Background
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is often used to evaluate low back pain; however, MRI in the supine position does not always reveal degenerative spondylolisthesis. The existence of a linear correlation between increased fluid in the facet joints seen on the supine axial T2 MRI of the lumbosacral spine and lumbar instability seen on standing lateral flexion–extension lumbosacral radiographs has recently been reported. The objective of this prospective study was to determine the incidence of increased fluid in the lumbar facet joints seen on the supine axial T2 MRI, and to evaluate the correlation of this finding with radiographic evidence of lumbar instability.
Materials and methods
We prospectively analyzed weight-bearing flexion–extension lumbosacral radiographs and lumbosacral MRI in the supine position for 52 patients (mean age 64.7 years) seen at our institution for low back pain and/or radiculopathy. The statistical analysis was performed with Fisher’s exact test. A difference was considered statistically significant if

P
< 0.05.
Results
In all but 5 of the 52 patients, degenerative disc disease and facet joint disease were observed on the supine MRI of the lumbosacral spine. Fifteen patients had exaggerated fluid in the lumbar facets on the axial T2 MRI (28.8%). Radiographic signs of degenerative lumbar spondylolisthesis were observed in 12 patients (23.1%), and the degenerative spondylolisthesis was not evident on the supine sagittal MRI in 10 of these 12 patients (83.3%). Among these 12 patients, the axial T2 MRI showed exaggerated fluid in the facet joints at the corresponding level in 8 patients (66%). Increased fluid in the lumbar facet joints was present on the supine axial T2 MRI in 7 patients (13.4%), even though there were no radiographic signs of corresponding lumbar instability.
Conclusion
We observed a statistical correlation between increased fluid in the lumbar facet joints on the supine axial T2 MRI and degenerative spondylolisthesis seen on standing lateral flexion–extension lumbosacral radiographs.</description><identifier>ISSN: 1590-9921</identifier><identifier>EISSN: 1590-9999</identifier><identifier>DOI: 10.1007/s10195-011-0141-3</identifier><identifier>PMID: 21597993</identifier><language>eng</language><publisher>Cham: Springer International Publishing</publisher><subject>Adult ; Aged ; Conservative Orthopedics ; Female ; Humans ; Intervertebral Disc Degeneration - diagnostic imaging ; Intervertebral Disc Degeneration - pathology ; Joint Instability - diagnostic imaging ; Joint Instability - pathology ; Low Back Pain - diagnostic imaging ; Low Back Pain - pathology ; Lumbar Vertebrae - diagnostic imaging ; Lumbar Vertebrae - pathology ; Magnetic Resonance Imaging ; Male ; Medicine ; Medicine & Public Health ; Middle Aged ; Original ; Original Article ; Orthopedics ; Predictive Value of Tests ; Prospective Studies ; Radiography ; Rheumatology ; Spondylolisthesis - diagnostic imaging ; Spondylolisthesis - pathology ; Sports Medicine ; Surgical Orthopedics ; Synovial Fluid - diagnostic imaging ; Traumatic Surgery</subject><ispartof>Journal of orthopaedics and traumatology, 2011-06, Vol.12 (2), p.87-91</ispartof><rights>The Author(s) 2011</rights><rights>Springer-Verlag 2011</rights><lds50>peer_reviewed</lds50><oa>free_for_read</oa><woscitedreferencessubscribed>false</woscitedreferencessubscribed><citedby>FETCH-LOGICAL-c535t-21ca386e8f4efd4f4ef0b94df629fc68ab8f287a65324c49531c04b91b3294283</citedby><cites>FETCH-LOGICAL-c535t-21ca386e8f4efd4f4ef0b94df629fc68ab8f287a65324c49531c04b91b3294283</cites></display><links><openurl>$$Topenurl_article</openurl><openurlfulltext>$$Topenurlfull_article</openurlfulltext><thumbnail>$$Tsyndetics_thumb_exl</thumbnail><linktopdf>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1661375468/fulltextPDF?pq-origsite=primo$$EPDF$$P50$$Gproquest$$Hfree_for_read</linktopdf><linktohtml>$$Uhttps://www.proquest.com/docview/1661375468?pq-origsite=primo$$EHTML$$P50$$Gproquest$$Hfree_for_read</linktohtml><link.rule.ids>230,314,723,776,780,881,25731,27901,27902,36989,36990,44566,53766,53768,74869</link.rule.ids><backlink>$$Uhttps://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21597993$$D View this record in MEDLINE/PubMed$$Hfree_for_read</backlink></links><search><creatorcontrib>Caterini, R.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Mancini, F.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Bisicchia, S.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Maglione, P.</creatorcontrib><creatorcontrib>Farsetti, P.</creatorcontrib><title>The correlation between exaggerated fluid in lumbar facet joints and degenerative spondylolisthesis: prospective study of 52 patients</title><title>Journal of orthopaedics and traumatology</title><addtitle>J Orthopaed Traumatol</addtitle><addtitle>J Orthop Traumatol</addtitle><description>Background
