2024年2月26日 · Sacralization is when your L5 vertebra is totally or partially connected to your pelvis. You may have a partial disc separating a portion of the two bones.

2018年3月21日 · The fifth lumbar vertebra, known as L5, may fuse fully or partially on either side of the sacrum, or on both sides. Sacralization is a congenital anomaly that occurs in the embryo.

2023年7月21日 · Depending on the number of thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, and sacral segments, they can be thought of as a lumbarized S1 segment or sacralized L5 segment. There can be a varying degree of transition, from partial to complete fusion.

2018年10月17日 · Bertolotti’s syndrome refers to the presence of pain associated to the anatomical variant of sacralization of the last lumbar vertebra. It is often a factor that is not addressed in the evaluation and treatment of lower back pain.

2019年1月24日 · The fifth lumbar vertebra, known as L5, may fuse fully or partially on either side of the sacrum, or on both sides. Sacralization is a congenital anomaly that occurs in the embryo. The lumbar region of the spinal column mainly facilitates …

Lumbosacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) are congenital spinal anomalies, in which an elongated transverse process of the last lumbar vertebra fuses with varying degree to the “first” sacral segment. 1 LSTV, as a morphological variation, spans a spectrum from partial/complete L5 sacralization to partial/complete S1 lumbarization. 2, 3 When ...

Sacralization is when the lowest lumbar vertebra (L5) becomes abnormally attached to the sacrum. Lumbarization is when top of the sacrum (S1) can be separated from the sacrum and the lumbar spine appears to have 6 vertebrae, not 5.

PURPOSE: The present study is an attempt to analyze the morphology of sacra with complete and partially fused (sacralized) L5 vertebrae and compare it with those observed in normal sacra. STUDY DESIGN/SETTING: Measurements of dimensions and articular surface areas were re-corded in samples bearing sacralized L5 vertebrae and in normal sacra.

2009年12月14日 · Sacralization imparts an extrinsically added, stable mass (L5) at the upper end of a sacrum that alters its functional anatomy. Understanding of the comparative dimensions associated with sacralization can help in further investigation of …

Sacralization of the fifth lumbar vertebra, also known as Bertolotti’s syndrome, is a congenital transitional anomaly of the lumbosacral spine characterized by a transverse mega-apophysis of L5 merging or articulating with the iliac wing and/or sacrum; it can be unilateral or bilateral.
