NCT04426916

Brief Summary

This study is to evaluate the anatomical characteristics of spondylolisthesis patients using spine ultrasound imaging. The optimal angle of spinal needle insertion for spinal anesthesia in spondylolisthesis patients was compared to that of normal patients without abnormal spinal anatomy.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • The predicted optimal angle of spinal needle insertion for spinal anesthesia at the level of spondylolisthesis. (alpha 1)

    The needle insertion angle where the height of ligamentum flavum/dura mater complex(LFD) is measured the longest in ultrasound image.

    Preanesthesia

  • The predicted optimal angle of spinal needle insertion for spinal anesthesia at the one upper level of spondylolisthesis. (alpha 2)

    The needle insertion angle where the height of LFD is measured the longest in ultrasound image.

    Preanesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • The height of LFD measured by ultrasound image.

    Preanesthesia

  • The depth from skin (needle insertion point) to LFD.

    Preanesthesia

  • The depth from skin (needle insertion point) to posterior longitudinal ligament(PLL).

    Preanesthesia

  • Patients' gender, age, height, weight, BMI, etc.

    Preanesthesia

Study Arms (2)

normal lumbar spine

Patient without spondylolisthesis or significant spinal anatomic deformity. (ex\> severe spondylosis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, etc..)

spondylolisthesis

Spondylolisthesis patients, with whom the deformity is at just one level. The patients should not have any other significant spinal deformity. (ex\> severe spondylosis, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, etc..)

Other: Spondylolisthesis

Interventions

Spondylolisthesis at a single level

spondylolisthesis
