초록

목적: 경추에서 후관절 비대칭성이 후관절 퇴행과 추간판 퇴행에 미치는 영향력에 대해 조사하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법: 2017년 1월부터 2018년 12월까지 총 100명의 환자를 대상으로 경추 제5-6번의 후관절 비대칭성을 후향적으로 분석하였다. 컴퓨터 단층촬영(computed tomography, CT)에서 수평면, 시상면, 관상면에 대한 양쪽 후관절 각도를 측정하였으며 자기공명영상 촬영(magnetic resonance imaging, MRI) 및 CT에서 후관절의 퇴행을 등급 체계를 이용하여 평가하였다. 추간판 퇴행은 MRI 시상면, 수평면에서 5등급으로 나누어 평가하였다. 좌우 후관절 각도 차이가 7도 이상인 경우를 비대칭군으로, 7도 미만인 경우를 대조군으로 구분하였다. 결과: 환자의 평균 나이는 비대칭군에서 55.44±12.3세(31-81세)였으며 대조군에서는 55.66±10.7세(32-76세)였다. 비대칭군의 경우 남성이 32명, 여성이 18명이었고 대조군에서는 남성이 24명, 여성이 26명이었다. 관절 퇴행은 비대칭군에서 24명(48.0%), 대조군에서 14명(28.0%)으로 측정되었으며 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.037). 추간판 퇴행은 비대칭군에서 29명(58.0%), 대조군에서 17명(34.0%)으로 측정되었으며 유의한 차이를 보였다(p=0.005). 다변량 분석 결과상 후관절 비대칭성이 후관절 퇴행과 추간판 퇴행에 영향을 주는 인자였다. 결론: 경추 제5-6번에서 경추 후관절 퇴행 및 추간판 퇴행이 유의하게 많이 발생하였으며 후관절 비대칭성이 후관절 퇴행 및 추간판 퇴행에 영향을 주는 인자로 생각된다.

Purpose: To investigate the effect of facet tropism on the degeneration of facet joint and intervertebral disc in the cervical spine. Materials and Methods: From January 2017 to December 2018, cervical tropism of 100 patients at the C5/6 level was analyzed retrospectively. In computed tomography (CT), the orientation and tropism of the facet joint with respect to the sagittal, coronal, and horizontal planes were measured. Regression of the facet joint in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT was assessed using a grading system. Intervertebral disc degeneration was assessed and divided into five grades on MRI. For the left and right asymmetry, a difference between two facet angles of less than 7° was classified as the control group, more than 7° was classified as the tropism group. Results: The mean age of the patients was 55.44±12.3 years (31-81 years) in the tropism group and 55.66±10.7 years (32-76 years) in the control group. In the tropism group, 32 were male and 18 were female. In the control group, 24 were male and 26 were female. Facet joint degeneration was identified in 24 patients (48.0%) in the tropism group and 14 patients (28.0%) in the control group, showing a significant difference. Intervertebral disc degeneration was identified in 29 patients (58.0%) in the tropism group and 17 patients (34.0%) in the control group, showing a significant difference. Multivariate revealed, tropism to be a factor that affected the facet joint and intervertebral disc degeneration. Conclusion: Facet joint and intervertebral disc degeneration occurred significantly in the tropism group, and tropism is a factor affecting the degeneration of facet joint and intervertebral disc in the C5/6 level.
