Can disability be evaluated after lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery

summary

Lumbar spondylolisthesis, the pain caused by physical labor, mostly occurs in the working class. Many people suffer from lumbar spondylolisthesis due to work-related injuries. They don't know whether their lumbar spondylolisthesis is enough to assess disability. Let's talk about whether they can assess disability after lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery.

Can disability be evaluated after lumbar spondylolisthesis surgery

First, the assessment of disability needs to be identified by relevant departments. The degree of lumbar spondylolisthesis determines whether the assessment of disability can be made. Some patients may have low back pain, the degree of which is mostly mild, often aggravated after fatigue, or due to mild trauma. After proper rest or taking painkillers, most of them improved, so their medical history was longer. Low back pain is intermittent at the beginning, but it can be persistent later. If it is serious, it will affect the normal life, and the rest can not be relieved.

Second: the patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis may have the special appearance of lumbar lordosis, buttock kyphosis, abdominal ptosis and waist shortening. At this time, the spinous process of the diseased vertebra is backward, while the spinous process above it moves forward, and the two are not in the same plane. There may be a sense of depression in the local area, and the sacral kyphosis increases. Lumbosacral spinous process tenderness, back extensor muscle tension.

Third: when the lumbar spondylolisthesis is very serious, as long as there is relevant proof, the disability can be evaluated. The vertebral arch is divided into two parts: the upper part is the superior articular process, transverse process, pedicle and vertebral body, which still keeps normal contact with the upper spine; the lower part is the inferior articular process, lamina and spinous process, which keeps contact with the lower sacral vertebra. There is no bony connection between the two parts, and the upper part moves forward due to the loss of restriction, which shows that the vertebral body slides forward on the lower vertebral body, which is called lumbar spondylolisthesis.

matters needing attention

For many patients with lumbar spondylolisthesis, even after surgery, most of the patients may not be able to engage in physical labor, so the injury is still relatively serious. However, to assess the disability, many patients still need to consult the relevant departments and make full proof documents.
