Some radiological features of the lumbar spine of 84 patients with spastic diplegia were compared with 50 control subjects. The average age of the patients was 20.1 years (3 to 39). Spondylolysis of the fifth lumbar vertebra was found in 21%, four times more frequently than in normal subjects. No patient under nine years of age had spondylolysis and the frequency increased with age. The average angle of lumbar lordosis in spastic patients in the standing position was greater than in normal subjects, and increased with age. The patients had a decreased sacrofemoral angle which caused an increase in Ferguson's angle and explained the increased angle of lumbar lordosis.
