Lumbosacral facetal "joint angles' associated with leg length inequality.
Differences in the right and left lumbosacral facetal "joint angles' are compared in non-acute low back pain patients with a leg length discrepancy of greater than 9 mm and a control group with a 0-3 mm leg length discrepancy. The method of erect-posture lumbosacral oblique radiography is described, as well as the method of measuring the lumbosacral facetal joint angles.
