Lumbosacral radiculopathy consists at any lumbar region including L1-S1. Occurrence rate of Lumbosacral radiculopathy is 3-5% distributed equally in men and women affecting more men than women. It commonly occurs in late 40s in men and late 50s-60s in females. Men are more prone to develop lumbosacral radiculopathy due to mechanical disturbance during routine work.
