Abstract
Low back pain is a one of the commonest cause of physical impairment and induces disability the activities of everyday living or the activities of work. Family practitioners often face patients with low back pain, therefore, they should fully understand the nature of low back pain and could explain it.
A clinical observation has been made on 47 patients with low back pain visited a local orthopaedic clinic, Incheon, from March 19th 1990 to March 24th 1990. The purpose of this study was to review and analyze the status of the patients with low back pain through questionnaires, specially concordance of diagnosing the low back pain was looked into with X-ray readings done by a family practoner and radiologist.
In comparing discrepancy of reading the series of Anterior-Posterior and Lateral views of Lumbo-Sacral spine in 47 patients, 47 percent of cases showed disagreement(kappa:0.14). However the results of management in patients influenced by discrepancy in X-ray readings have not been evaluated.
