Episode Summary

Learn how to recognize the four main serious spinal pathologies, with a focused look at cauda equina syndrome and how to differentiate spinal fractures. Guided by a spinal specialist, you’ll gain practical insight into red flags, clinical reasoning, and confident decision-making in advanced practice.

This presentation covers the 4 main serious pathologies of the lumbar spine, exploring how common they are, how we can identify them and how we can safely manage them. We explore the challenges of managing these conditions and link this to the International Framework for Red Flags that was published last year, providing detail on how to weigh up and manage the risks associated with these conditions. We explore the questions behind the questions in relation to red flags.
