Correlation between degenerative lumber spine diseases (spondylolisthesis, retrolisthesis and spinal stenosis) with bone mineral density and trabecular bone score: Case-control study

Background

Degenerative lumbar spine diseases are among the leading causes of low back pain and disability worldwide. Bone mineral density and trabecular bone score are important indicators of bone quantity and microarchitecture, respectively. However, the correlation between individual degenerative lumbar spine diseases and these bone health parameters remains controversial because previous studies have reported inconsistent findings.
