What is the treatment for lumbar sacralization?

The incidence rate of lumbar spondylosis is very high in the elderly and people with poor physical fitness. Generally, trauma or cold can easily induce lumbar spondylosis. The main symptoms of lumbar spondylosis are soreness and pain in the lumbar spondylosis. If lumbar spondylosis occurs, you must go to the hospital for examination in time. After the diagnosis, you must actively cooperate with the doctor's treatment. You must pay more attention to rest, or massage and acupuncture can be used as auxiliary treatment.

The main cause of lumbar spondylosis is the deformation of the spine, which is mainly caused by various factors such as congenital maldevelopment of the spine or the direct effect of external force. Once lumbar spondylosis occurs, the patient is the biggest victim. For example, the main symptom of lumbar sacralization that affects the patient's life is back pain. Because the lumbar spine is damaged and deformed, the connection between the lumbar spine and the sacral spine is transformed into the sacral spine, so there is one less section of lumbar vertebrae and one more section of sacral vertebrae. Once the lumbar spine is damaged, waist pain will occur, so this small symptom should not be underestimated.

Sciatica is a manifestation of damage to the lumbar sacralization. Therefore, if you do not want to suffer from sciatica, a disease that is very harmful to the human body, you must first protect the safety of your spine. There are many other damages caused by lumbar sacralization. In addition to affecting the patient's health, it will also bring unnecessary trouble to the patient's life. Lumbar sacralization will affect the patient's self-care in life, and he or she will have to trouble family members, relatives and friends. Over time, it will cause damage to the patient's family and relationships. In addition, it is also a huge expense financially, which is undoubtedly a disaster for families living in poverty. The primary purpose of the occurrence of disease is to affect the health of the patient, but few people will discover that they are ill and seek timely treatment. This is because people do not understand the harm of the disease enough. Therefore, no matter it is lumbar spondylosis or other diseases, as long as it is a disease, its occurrence will definitely affect the patient's life. It should be noted that lumbar spondylosis is a congenital disease. Therefore, women should pay more attention to calcium supplementation during pregnancy to prevent calcium loss in the body and affect the development of the fetus.

How to prevent and treat lumbar spondylosis?

(1) Osteotomy and decompression: It is mainly used for patients with sacralized 5th lumbar vertebra with hypertrophy of the transverse process or pseudoarthrosis that irritates and compresses the nerve branches. A section of the hypertrophic transverse process can be removed. (2) Arthrodesis: Bone grafting and fusion can be performed for patients with simple (unilateral or bilateral) pseudoarthrosis (L5 transverse process and ilium) traumatic arthritis. However, this operation is relatively deep and care should be taken during the operation. (3) Nerve branch cutting (or release): For clearly visible nerve branches, they can be released and freed at the compression site; if they cannot be released, they will be cut off. (4) Spinal fusion: For patients with multi-vertebral dysfunction in the lumbar sacral region who have not responded to conservative treatment, lumbar sacral bone grafting and fusion can be performed.
