Your spinal cord is made up of 5 different areas, based on how many vertebrae (pieces of spine) make it up.
You have:
7 CERVICAL
12 THORACIC
5 LUMBAR
5 SACRAL
5 COCCYGEAL
Therefore the lumbosacral junction (where lumbar meets sacral) is assumed to be at L5 (the 5th and last lumbar vertebrae) and S1 (the 1st sacral vertebrae).

What is lumbosacral junction?
The lumbosacral junction is located in the lower center of the back and between the hips. It consists of the L5 vertebral and the first sacral vertebral body.
What joint connects the sarcum with the upper verterbrae?
The lumbosacral joint connects L5-S1
Moderate to severe degenerative loss of disc height at the lumbosacral junction with mild degenerative type posterior subluxation and associated broad-based annular disc bulge which is subligamentous?
Fairly rare MRI term associated with spondylolisthesis at the L5/S1 level... The disk is dragged forward by the spinal slippage and on MRI appears to be herniated (which it isn't)...
Which spinal nerves comprise the brachial plexus and the lumbosacral plexus?
the spinal nerves which comprise the brachial plexus are C5 - C8 and T1. lumosacral plexus are L1 - L5, S1 - S4 and SR.
What does loss of disc signal at L4-L5 and L5-S1 mean?
No
What is subluxation of L4 and L5?
whatis anterior subluxation on L5 on S1 mean?
What does moderate arthropathy L-4-L5 and L-5-S1 mean?
what does moderate facet arthropathy l5-s1 mean
What does sacralization of L5 vertebrae with right transverso-iliac neo-articulation mean?
left sided sacralisation of L5 vertebra seen
What does slight progression of degenerative marrow endplate changes at the L5-S1 level mean?
what does slight progression of degenerative marrow in the l5 - s1
What does it mean if I have slight bulging of the annulus at L5-S1 I have a lot of pain there.?
It means you have a slight herniation/slight bulging of the disc at the L5-S1 level of your spine.
What does air in the L5-S1 facets mean?
It means that there is fluid in the disc in the degenerative spine.
I an having L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery what does this mean?
If you are having an L5 S1 foraminotomy surgery it means the surgeons will enlarge the passageway of the first spinal nerve in your 5th lumbar vertebra.
