Twelfth Rib Length as a Predictor of Anatomic Variations in the Lumbosacral Plexus Associated With Atypical Radiculopathy in Lumbar Disc Herniation
These findings suggest that contradictory neurological symptoms in LDH may be largely due to cranio-caudal deviations in the LSP and its branches. Furthermore, the 12th rib length may help predict these anatomic variations, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy in LDH.
