Analysis of the association between lumbar paraspinal muscle atrophy, facet joint degeneration, and degenerative lumbar scoliosis
DS patients demonstrate progressive paraspinal muscle atrophy, sagittal-oriented facet joints, and advanced facet degeneration correlating with scoliosis severity. Diagnostic thresholds indicating DS probability are BMD < - 0.900 T-score, LCSA/GCSA < 0.805, MF CSA < 635 mm<sup>2</sup>, ES CSA < 832 mm<sup>2</sup>, FJA > 57°, and FO length > 6.550 mm.
