Does the L5 spinal nerve move?: anatomical evaluation with implications for postoperative L5 nerve palsy

While palsy of the L5 nerve root due to stretch injury is a known complication in complex lumbosacral spine surgery, the underlying pathophysiology remains unclear. The goal of this cadaveric study was to quantify movement of the L5 nerve root during flexion/extension of the hip and lower lumbar spi...
