Abstract

Introduction: The aetiology of lumbar pain is multifactorial. One of the primary factors among these is disc degeneration, and degenerative processes lead to endplate changes. This study aimed to determine the incidence rate of Schmorl’s nodes (SN), especially those accompanied by modic changes, among cases with lumbar magnetic resonance imaging (MRIs) performed as part of their clinical examination upon arrival at the clinic due to lumbar pain.Methods: This study consisted of 128 patients who were admitted with low back pain and lumbar MRI were taken into the process. Age, gender, pain level has been recorded. All lumbar spinal disc spaces It has been evaluated. The incidence and sizes of the SN reveal SN observed especially with modic degeneration It has been studied in detail.Results: The cases with and without modic degeneration were evaluated using the significance test for the difference between two proportions, and the results were not statistically significant (p>0.05). The cases with modic type-1 and type-2 degenerations were evaluated separately, but the frequency wasnotstatisticallysignificant(p>0.05).Theseparate comparisons of type-1 and type-2 modic degenerations against type-3 resulted in a statistically significant difference (p
