(20) Two clinical syndromes were distinguished, both characterized by 'typical local tenderness' and associated with specific clinical features; these syndromes, described previously in the literature but receiving scant attention, were named the greater trochanteric pain syndrome (trochanteric bursitis) and the iliac crest pain syndrome (iliolumbar syndrome), and occurred in 35% and 43% of the patients, respectively.
Lumbar
Definition:
(a.) Alt. of Lumbal
Example Sentences:
(1) Sixteen patients were operated on for lumbar pain and pain radiating into the sciatic nerve distribution.
(2) Two cases of posterior lumbar vertebral rim fracture and associated disc protrusion in adolescents are presented.
(3) The electrical stimulation of the tail associated to a restraint condition of the rat produces a significant increase of immunoreactive DYN in cervical, thoracic and lumbar segments of spinal cord, therefore indicating a correlative, if not causal, relationship between the spinal dynorphinergic system and aversive stimuli.
(4) The results of operative lumbar sympathectomy for both intermittent claudication and rest pain in 153 patients have been reviewed.
(5) Thirty-seven patients with retinoblastoma were evaluated prospectively by clinical examination, lumbar puncture, and CT.
