Resumen
Introduction: Technological advances in the development of preventive measures are indispensable in the process of maintaining the quality of life of human beings. The rise of new methods of assessment of complex structures such as the spine, and more specifically the lumbosacral spine is in constant demand for scientific research. Objective: To investigate the correlation and agreement between different radiographic methods for evaluation of lumbosacral concavity and develop a protocol for assessment of curvature through Photogrammetry. Methodology: The sample selection was in Curitiba-PR, totaling 58 individuals of both sexes, aged between 18 and 28 years. In image processing procedures and criteria for inclusion were detected six technical losses, reducing the sample to 52 individuals. For the development of the new technique was used: a digital camera Samsung ® 14.2 Mega Pixels, a tripod Midas ® and markers adhesives of brand Pimaco®. During construction of the new technique, we detected the need to develop metallic marker of prominence to be seen in the photographs and radiographs in lateral views. The procedures related to collect radiographic image were carried out in partnership with a diagnostic imaging center of a hospital in the capital of Curitiba. The angles of the concavity lumbosacral were evaluated seven different techniques (Centroid, Cobb1L1-S1, Cobb2L1-L5, Cobb3L2-S1, Cobb4T12-S1, Posterior tangent and Trall) and also by two new techniques with photograph (Cobb Photo e Trall Photo). Results: Despite the low values of correlation between radiographic methods, high correlation coefficients were found between some techniques: Cobb4 T12i-S1s e Cobb1 L1s-S1s (0,893), Cobb4 T12i-S1s e Cobb2 L1s-L5i (0,820), Cobb3 L2s-S1s e Cobb1 L1s-S1s (0,810). The techniques the photogrammetric analysis of the lumbosacral spine demonstrated correlation moderate to weak when compared to radiographic tests. The Measures of Trall Photo in 0, 45, respectively. Additionally, we promoted a categorical classification of angle values obtained by each method, both those validated in radiograph, and developed by photogrammetry. With these results, we opted for the analysis of a new variable, the tipping point between the thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis. This inflection point presented higher incidence in the region between the twelfth thoracic vertebra and the L1 (63,5%). Conclusion: It was concluded that the diversity of anatomical references used in the studied techniques should be considered when choosing to appli in different patients, depending on the position assigned to the inflection point thoracolumbar, because knowledge of its location allows choice of technique to be used more accurately. Assessment techniques developed from photogrammetry (Cobb Photo e Tall Photo) showed no statistical values sufficiently compatible to replace the radiographic method.
