Prior to surgery there are tests that will be necessary in order for the surgeon to determine several things about your health including your gallbladder, it's function, and the presence and location of any gallstones. Tests that may be necessary include: 1  Abdominal Ultrasound. 2  HIDA Scan. 3  ERCP. 4  Bloodwork. 5  Chest x-ray. 6  EKG.
Bending forward or rounding your lower back is called flexion. Flexion in the lumbar spine is primarily limited by compression of the intervertebral disks and tension in the ligaments that run along the back of the spine. The normal range of movement of lumbar flexion is 40 to 50 degrees.he range of motion, or how far your spine can move, is limited by the disks between the vertebrae, the ligaments that tie the vertebrae together and the orientation of the facet joints on the back part of the vertebrae. Muscle tension can restrict your range of motion as well.
Lumbarization is an anomaly in the spine. It is defined by the nonfusion of the first and second segments of the sacrum. The lumbar spine subsequently appears to have six vertebrae or segments, not five.Conversely the sacrum appears to have only four segments instead of its designated five segments.acralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra (or sacralization) is a congenital anomaly, in which the transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra (L5) fuses to the sacrum on one side or both, or to ilium, or both. These anomalies are observed at about 3.5 percent of people, and it is usually bilateral.
