Dislocation of lumbar vertebra - what does this mean
Dislocation of lumbar vertebra occurs when the bones of the lower back (lumbar vertebrae) are forced out of their normal alignment due to a sudden force or trauma. this can cause pain, numbness, and difficulty walking or standing. it can also cause nerve damage leading to further complications.
What happens during the disease - dislocation of lumbar vertebra
The pathogenesis of a lumbar vertebral dislocation is typically caused by a traumatic event such as a fall, motor vehicle accident, or other high-impact activity. these events can cause the vertebrae to become misaligned, resulting in a dislocation. this can lead to pain, decreased range of motion, and neurological deficits in the lower extremities. in some cases, surgery may be required to restore the vertebrae to their proper alignment.
